(Allium sativum)  Softneck. Best in zones 2-10. Large bulbs have the perfect balance of a smooth, rich garlicky flavor and just a kiss of pungency! We have legendary garlic farmer and all-around alliophile Chester Aaron to thank for this delectable artichoke type garlic. Aaron found this rich-flavored variety at a farmers’ market in Romania in the 1990s and brought it back to the U.S. The bulbs average 10-15 cloves per head and have a good storage life of up to 6-7 months.

Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

Transylvania garlic likes well-drained soil enriched with compost, ideally in raised beds. After planting in the fall, water minimally until spring, when regular watering supports bulb development. Mulching with straw or leaf mulch helps retain moisture and prevents soil heaving.

When to Grow

Transylvania garlic likes well-drained soil enriched with compost, ideally in raised beds. After planting in the fall, water minimally until spring, when regular watering supports bulb development. Mulching with straw or leaf mulch helps retain moisture and prevents soil heaving.

How to Sow and Plant

Preparation: Provide rich, well-drained soil; raised beds are excellent. Consider adding well-rotted compost before planting.
Planting: Gently break apart bulbs just before planting. Plant cloves pointy tip up, 2 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart.
Watering: After planting, irrigation isn’t necessary until spring. Regular watering in spring and summer is beneficial until bulbs mature in summer.

How to Grow

As the garlic grows, ensure it receives regular watering, especially during dry periods in spring and summer. Fertilize when the greens are about 6 inches tall for good bulb development. Remove any weeds to reduce competition for nutrients.
