Softneck garlic varieties or Allium sativum grow best in milder climates (zones 8-12). They do not require cold exposure to make bulbs likehardnecks do and they mature more quickly. Softneck varieties also store better than hardneck.
We are excited to share our high-quality seed stock at a reasonable price to gardeners, small farms, chefs, and home cooks all over the country.
Each variety of garlic we offer has its own distinct characteristics. We invite you to explore our website and discover the variety of garlic that suits you!
