German Hardy Porcelain Garlic- Certified Organic
German hardy porcelain garlic is a favorite here in the northeast. Also known as German extra hardy, Northern White, and German White it is a Hardneck variety from the porcelain family. A reliable and easy to grow variety in all sorts of soil types including clay rich soils, each bulb typically has 4-6 extra large cloves per head. As the name suggests, it's very hardy and does exceptionally well in our cold and wet Vermont climate and soils.
Flavor is similar to Katterman Porcelain, raw it is pungent and spicy mellowing out when cooked. Since it has large cloves, it is easy to peel and perfect for roasting whole. Produces beautiful thick scapes in mid June. Stores very well in proper storage conditions, 6-8 months.
