Does society garlic spread?

As a gardening and landscaping expert, I can confidently say that when society garlic is grown outdoors, it does spread, but at a relatively slow pace. This spreading is mainly done through its rhizomes, which are underground stems that produce new shoots and roots. However, it is important to note that society garlic is not considered an aggressive or invasive plant like some other species.

One of the advantages of society garlic is that it can also be successfully grown in containers. This is particularly useful for those who have limited garden space or prefer to have more control over the plantโ€™s growth. When growing society garlic in containers, it is essential to ensure that the plant receives bright sunlight for optimal growth and performance.

Personally, I have successfully grown society garlic in both outdoor beds and containers. In my experience, I have found that the plant tends to spread more vigorously when planted directly in the ground. However, even in containers, I have observed some spreading through the rhizomes, although it may be slightly slower compared to outdoor growth.

To summarize the main points:

1. Society garlic does spread, but it is not considered aggressive or invasive.
2. The spreading is primarily done through rhizomes, which are underground stems.
3. When grown in containers, society garlic can still spread, but at a slower pace.
4. Bright sunlight is crucial for the best growth and performance of society garlic.
5. Personal experiences have shown successful growth both in outdoor beds and containers.

I hope this detailed answer provides you with the information you were looking for regarding the spreading behavior of society garlic. If you have any further questions or need additional clarification, feel free to ask.
