Interested in growing garlic but can't settle on which variety? We'd love to introduce you into the wide world of garlic diversity with our garlic samplers. We offer a few different options: 1/4 or 1/2 pound each of 4 varieties of garlic. Please note that the hardneck garlic varieties included may vary depending on availability.Â
Each type represents a different facet of the garlic genome:
Chesnok - Purple Striped, Hardneck Type. In a prevalent Russian dialect, "Chesnok" means garlic, although this garlic originally hails from the village of Shvelisi in the Republic of Georgia. It is an excellent producing, brilliant garlic. Long, crescent-shaped purple-hued cloves are covered by purple-striped bulb wrappers that glow with sparkles of golden glaze. Outstanding, uniquely spicy flavor raw. Holds flavor well when baked. Very long storing garlic. 8-12 cloves per bulb.Â
Music - Porcelain Hardneck Type. This is a wonderful variety produces bulbs that will have only 4-6 cloves, saving time in the kitchen. Flavor is rich and bold with just the right amount of spiciness. Stores fairly well for a hardneck, lasting about 9 months - or until March or April in simple cool storage.Â
Pyongyang  - Asiatic, Hardneck Type. Very pretty deep purple striping over white bulb wrappers with bronze to red cloves. The cloves are tall and elongated and are easy to peel. Produces 4-8 large, easy to peel cloves per bulb. Raw Flavor is spicy and builds to a fiery intensity. Baking and cooking mellows flavor to a nutty smoothness. The visual appeal, ease of peeling and robust flavor have endeared this variety to many growers who now treasure it as a favorite.Â
Romanian Red - Porcelain Hardneck Type. Truly impressive in every way, each bulb contains 4-6 large cloves, delivering a hot and pungent flavor that lasts. Its popularity stems from its robust growth, hardiness, and high allicin content, as well as the easy-to-peel cloves and unique streaked purple-red skin. The heads are wrapped in silky, creamy white and have excellent storage capabilities. Originally from Romania, this garlic has great market appeal for its size, taste and quality.
