  • $11.40

Description

Seed Garlic pre-orders are now available with shipping starting the first week of October. Regular seed packet orders should be placed separately from seed garlic if needed before then.

Allium sativum

"This garlic variety hails from Italy, boasts a sweet yet mild flavor profile, and produces medium and large bulbs that nicely fill out a garlic braid. Due to its mild, authentic garlic flavor, Italian is a long-time favorite of gardeners and chefs. 

The heads yield large outer cloves, which are easy to peel and, once peeled, reveal cloves with a lavender tint. This is another super variety for braiding and displaying in the kitchen. 

Italian tends to harvest earlier than other varieties if you are growing garlic and are interested in a staggered harvest."

Description Source: Sundries Farm

Early Italian averages about 5-10 bulbs per lb and 8-14 cloves per bulb.

Seed garlic sourced from Sundries Farm in Hagerman Valley, Idaho.

Storage instructions: Make sure to keep your garlic in a brown bag in a cool, dark, dry place until you are ready to plant it. 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit is the ideal storage temperature. Air must be able 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 light frost of the season. Bulbs should not be separated into cloves until just before planting. Sow with the point where the cloves attached to the bulb pointed down. We recommend mulching your garlic bed with a light layer of leaves to help with weed suppression and overwintering.
