Varieties Descriptions
All all garlic offered are hardnecks. Softnecks are usually better suited to more mild climates. (Most garlic packaged and offered for sale in stores is softneck and grown in California or imported from China). Customers have told us they need to use at least twice as much softneck garlic as hardneck garlic to achieve the same level of flavor.
