Full sun. Well-drained soil. They don't like clay.
I always plant my garlic in the fall - pop each individual clove into the ground, a few inches down, growing tip up. They are one of the first things to sprout in late winter. I harvest in July, or when the strappy leaves die back about halfway. Each place where a clove was planted, I harvest an entire bulb of garlic. Easy. And bugs don't bother the plants.
Since you're planting now - either it will take longer before they're ready, or the bulbs will just be smaller. I've never planted in the spring, but I can't think of a good reason not to try it!

I agree that you plant in the fall and harvest late summer...however, if it is already sprouting, you may as well plant it as companion planting to help keep insects away from other plants...find out what can companion plant with garlic...have fun

Garlic will survive in any soil. It is not picky, some watering is required at tranplanting, then when soil is dry, also I would say good light for it.
