Description

Ships September through November.

(Allium sativum)  Porcelain type. This exceptionally cold hardy hardneck type is appreciated for its pungent, gourmet flavor. A porcelain type with ivory outer paper and purple streaked inner wrapping around cloves. This top choice culinary variety is easy to peel, and also has a good shelf life of up to 6 months when stored properly. Averages 4-7 cloves per head, and makes delicious scapes.

Growing Tips: German Extra Hardy garlic thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. It is very winter-hardy, making it ideal for colder climates. This garlic variety prefers full sun, requiring at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Amend the soil with organic matter such as compost to enhance fertility and drainage.

When to Grow

Plant German Extra Hardy garlic in the fall, about six weeks before the first hard freeze. This timing allows the garlic to form roots before the ground freezes. This is a hardneck porcelain type that needs a cold period to form cloves, so spring planting, especially in mild-winter regions, often yields a single undivided round rather than a clove-filled head. The bulbs typically mature in mid-summer, around July or August.
