German Extra Hardy Hardneck Garlic

Also known as German White, German Extra Hardy is in the Porcelain group of hardneck garlics. Bulbs can easily grow to 2" or more in diameter, and with only 4 to 6 cloves per bulb, this is one of the easiest varieties to peel. The taste is pungent, but not overpowering, and the scapes are generous and flavorful.

German Extra Hardy can withstand very cold winters, as well as wet, warm winters, better than many other varieties. Long roots prevent frost heaving. An excellent keeper, German Extra Hardy will store easily for 6 months if handled properly after harvest.
