  • 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 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.
