Allium sativum
When it comes to exceptionally large, easy-to-work-with cloves, the porcelain garlic group karate kicks all rivals. This top-notch porcelain garlic produces 4-6 very large, rose-buff colored cloves per bulb. The cloves are a dream to work with (a huge time saver when making large quantities of elk sausage). Music garlic is medium-hot with a true garlic flavor.
Music has high levels of allicin, the sulfur-containing compound that provides garlic's antioxidant and antibacterial properties. If you eat garlic strictly for wellness purposes, this is the variety for you, especially if you consume it raw!
Plants are dark green, strong, and robust. Music grows very well in cold climates. Music has an exceptional shelf life for a hardneck, storing up to 9 months.
Music averages 4-6 cloves per bulb and 5-10 bulbs per pound.
Storage instructions: Keep your garlic bulbs in a paper bag in a cool, dark, dry place until you are ready to plant it. The ideal storage temperature is 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Air needs to circulate freely around the bag. Do not store garlic in the refrigerator.
Sowing instructions: Garlic is best sown in the fall after the first frost of the season. Wait until just before planting to separate the bulbs into cloves. Plant the clove with the pointed end facing up. We recommend mulching your garlic bed with a light layer of leaves or straw to help with weed suppression and overwintering.
