Assuming you live where there's an actual winter, garlic is best planted in
the fall, at the same time as tulips & other spring flowering bulbs. The
following year, it'll start growing. You're supposed to remove the
"scapes" - the flowers. When the stalks turn brown, harvest the garlic.

I don't have advice on the variety.
