Which Garlic Should You Grow?

How do you decide which garlic is the one for you? Vampires hate both of them but here are some other things to consider:

Hardneck Garlic

  • Perfect for northern gardens
  • Rich flavor
  • In warmer areas? Just give them a cold nap. Tuck your bulbs in the crisper drawer for 6–8 weeks before planting.


Softneck Garlic

  • Thrives in warmer zones (but hardy from Zone 3–10!)
  • Doesn’t require chilling
  • Classic braiding garlic with long storage life


Whether you’re team hardneck or softneck, we’ve got three flavorful varieties ready for your garden.

 

Seed Garlic

Why does seed garlic cost more than the grocery store? Well, there are a few reasons but here's the scoop:

  • It’s virus-indexed (so you’re not bringing diseases into your soil). YUCK!
  • You know exactly what variety you’re planting! Grocery bulbs are a mystery mix.
  • Best of all, once you start growing, you can save your biggest, best cloves to replant year after year! Garlic forever!
