Pro Plant Tips for Care
Once the root systems are established in your soil, Savanna Lightning Society Garlic is a tough, clump-forming plant. Give it full or partial sun for best results with at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a day.
Fleshy rhizomes store water, which means this plant will tolerate low water conditions. However, You’ll get more flowers and prettier foliage with regular amounts of moderate water.
Prune off spent flower stalks to the height of the leaves. Clip back yellowing leaves to the base of the crown through the season. You can prune them to within a few inches of the ground in early spring to refresh them, as you like.
