  • Creole Garlic, Cuban Purple

    Nov 22, 2023

    CREOLE GARLIC, Cuban Purple Allium sativum var. sativum FULL SUN The Creole Group of garlics is most valued because they are well suited to hot southern growing climates and tolerant of early-season heat and drought. At one time they were known as Southern Continental (referring to the European Continent) and many of the cultivars grown in the United States today originated in Spain. In the Southwest, these garlics are known as “Mexican Purple”. Creoles have fine taste and are good storers. Though the bulbs are not large, the exquisite flavor of the cloves more than makes up for the size. The bulbs and cloves are incredibly beautiful with clove skins in a range of shades of deep reddish purple. Cuban Purple was introduced into the United States in

  • Porcelain Garlic, Rosewood – 4 oz

    Oct 24, 2023

    PORCELAIN GARLIC, Rosewood Allium Sativum FULL SUN Porcelain Garlics are hardnecks. Most varieties have pure white skins and cloves so large that they are often mistaken for elephant garlic. The individual cloves are usually crystal white, hence the name Porcelain. Porcelain Garlics produce the tallest plants of all garlic cultivars. Some Porcelain plants can reach a height of 7 feet. Each bulb contains 4-6 giant cloves with 4 cloves being the norm. The cloves are arranged in a single layer – no small interior cloves and the cloves are easy to peel. Unlike most hardnecks, Porcelains are fairly good storers. The plants are very, very cold hardy, flourishing in Hardiness Zones1-4, but surprisingly the Porcelains also grow well in warmer climates. Porcelains, more than any other garlic

  • Turban Garlic, Red Janice – 4 oz

    Nov 14, 2020

    NEW! TURBAN GARLIC, Red Janice Allium Sativum FULL SUN Turbans are so named because of the shape of their flower head which forms at the end of the ‘scape’ they produce. The Turban plants do not look very robust. The stems are short, and the leaves are spaced far apart giving the plant a straggly appearance. It is not unusual for the stems to bend at the soil level and topple over as harvest time approaches. The word best associated with Turbans is earliest. These garlics should be the first to be harvested, sometimes 3-4 weeks before the other garlics. Harvesting should take place as soon as the top two leaves begin to turn. They also have the shortest storage capability, but they are
