An incredibly hardy, disease resistant variety stewarded in Ferryville, WI for the last 30+ years. This is a red striped garlic with many cloves (so great ROI for seed garlic), large bulbs, good storage life, and a pungent flavor. This is their most resilient variety, incredibly tolerant of cool and wet conditions. If you've struggled with garlic, try this one!
GROWING TIPS:
We recommend planting garlic between September and late November in most of the US.
Place cloves 1-2" below the soil 6" apart in rows 8" apart and cover gently with soil. For best weed control use a natural mulch like straw and mulch heavily making sure mulch has enough 'give' to allow emerging stems to burst through. Mid season the plants will grow 'scapes', the stems of the bolting flower, which are to be removed to encourage bulb growth and development. Harvest the bulbs once the leaves begin to die back and dry, typically in July in the upper midwest. Cure bulbs in a warm dry space for 2-3 weeks before putting into storage.
