  • Silverskin Garlic, Sicilian Silver – 4 oz

    Jun 08, 2020

    NEW! SILVERSKIN SILVER, Sicilian Silver Allium Sativum FULL SUN Softnecks are more fragile than Hardnecks, but many Softnecks can withstand winters in Hardiness Zone 4. They cannot withstand winters in Hardiness Zones 1-3. The stems of Softnecks are pliable and can be braided for efficient storage. They are usually milder in flavor than Hardnecks, BUT they last much, much longer than Hardnecks, so it is a good idea to include 1-2 Softneck varieties in your collection so that you have garlic until the following season. The rule of thumb used to be that Softnecks did not produce scapes, but some do.

  • Artichoke Garlic, Lors Italian – 4 oz

    Jun 08, 2020

    ARTICHOKE GARLIC, Lors Italian Allium Sativum FULL SUN Lorz Italian, is an heirloom garlic that was brought to the United States, specifically Washington State’s Columbia Basin, in the 1800s by the Lorz family. This garlic is very productive and well adapted to summer heat, but can be grown in much cooler climates. Unlike many Artichoke cultivars, there are very few small inner cloves. Each bulb produces 12-19 cloves. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of this garlic is its exceptional flavor. Most Artichoke cultivars have mild flavor, but Lorz Italian has a rich, complex flavor devoid of vegetative or other less desirable characteristics. Garlic is best when planted in the fall, but can be planted in the spring as soon as the ground can be worked. If planting in

    Polish Hardneck The Porcelain and Turban Garlics Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About GARLIC!! The Porcelain and Turban horticultural groups of garlic were basicallyunknown in the US until very recently. They are both very distinctive, but for different reasons. They are both hardneck varieties, so it is essential to plant them in the fall. The Porcelains can best be described with one word – impressive. The plants are huge, with incredibly thick stems up to 1 inch in diameter and statuesque. They can reach a height of 7 feet, but mine never have. My Porcelains areusually about 3 feet tall. You should probably leave more distance between these plants – 9 inches between cloves and 2 feet between rows. Without a doubt, though, the most impressive characteristic of the Porcelains
