Garlic Purple Hardneck

Purple hardneck is a Creole type that gets its namesake from the purple skin of its cloves. These globe shaped bulbs have white wrappers and yield 8-12 cloves per bulb. The flavor offers high sharpness and intensity without heat, making it great for eating raw. Creole type garlics are later to mature and perform better than other hardnecks in regions with warmer winters. Scapes can be harvested and used for cooking before the garlic itself is actually harvested. Long term storage. Hardiness Zones 5-9. Bulb size 1.5-2".

Hardneck garlic bulbs planted in fall help growers make practical use of bed space before spring crops. The striking purple clove skins create visual impact when bulbs are cut open for display, differentiating your product from standard white varieties. Mellow-to-robust flavor appeals to specialty markets, while long-term storage capability can help extend your sales window. Garlic Purple Hardneck performs well in many warmer-winter regions where some northern hardneck types may struggle to bulb properly. Scapes also provide another seasonal harvest before bulbs fully mature.
