‘German White’ is a hardneck Porcelain garlic that is extremely pungent when eaten raw but mellows when cooked. It is a great variety for dishes that call for strong garlic flavor. The wrappers have a touch of purple to them while the bulbs are a nice cream color, with each bulb having about 4-7 large cloves that peel easily. ‘German White’ is easy to grow and great for beginners. Like all garlic, this variety does best in full sun with well-drained soil that has been prepared with ample amounts of compost. It is a high-producing garlic and will last for 4-6 months when stored in a cool, dry location.


‘Chesnok Red’ is a highly productive purple stripe hardneck variety. It is medium in stem height, but produces big underground bulbs. It is delicious when roasted.


‘Spanish Red’ is a spicy Creole variety of garlic whose fiery flavor can be tamed by roasting or sautéing. Genetically a weak-bolting softneck, ‘Spanish Red’ will behave like a hardneck in northern zones. The bulbs have pinkish white wrappers and about 8-12 well-formed cloves. Spanish Red does well in warmer climates and needs to be grown in full sun with very well-drained soil that is kept free of weeds. This variety stores longer than any other garlic we have ever grown, around 8-10 months when kept in a cool, dry place. ‘Spanish Red’ takes longer to mature and is usually harvested a full month later than other varieties, but it is well worth the wait.


‘Ukrainian Red’ is a hardneck Rocambole variety with a strong, spicy flavor when raw and a lighter flavor with no aftertaste when sautéed. Each mahogany-colored bulb has about 7-10 cloves that peel well. This garlic does best in full sun with well-drained soil and is adaptable down to zone 8. Shelf life is about 4-5 months when stored in cool, dry conditions. ‘Ukrainian Red’ produces meaty scapes that are harvested in the spring.
