Description

About German White Extra Hardy Certified Organic Garlic

German White Extra Hardy Garlic is a renowned hardneck variety celebrated for its robust, gourmet flavor and ability to withstand cold climates. This porcelain type garlic, now organically grown, features creamy white outer paper with purple-streaked inner wrappers around each clove. The large, easy-to-peel bulbs contain 4-7 cloves each, making it a favorite among home chefs for its rich, moderately spicy taste. German White Extra Hardy is highly valued for its high allicin content, especially when freshly crushed, adding both flavor and potential health benefits to your dishes.

How to Grow German White Extra Hardy Garlic

German White Extra Hardy Garlic is ideal for cold climates and should be planted in the fall for the best results. Plant the cloves in well-drained soil in a sunny location, about 2 inches deep with the tip pointing up. This variety typically matures in approximately 225-240 days, providing a bountiful harvest by mid-summer. The garlic also produces scapes, which are tender, flavorful stalks that can be harvested in late spring and used in various culinary applications.

Our garlic is USDA certified organic, grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. This ensures healthier, sustainable crops, supports biodiversity, and enhances soil health, providing you with the highest quality produce for your garden and kitchen.

A half-pound set of garlic contains approximately 3-4 bulbs. Each bulb contains several cloves for planting. Actual quantity may vary depending on bulb size.

Survival Guaranteed!

Since 1816, Stark Bro’s has promised to provide customers with the very best fruit trees and plants. It’s just that simple. However, because annual plants are naturally short-lived and complete their life cycle in a single growing season, our standard one-year survival guarantee does not apply to annuals. If your annuals arrive damaged or fail to thrive within the first 14 days after delivery, please contact us immediately so we can make it right. For all other plants, our full one-year warranty still applies. Read more about our warranty policy.

Trying something new

First time trying garlic

Had five stars review! And like to try different varieties of garlic to see which works best for our area and soil

Does this garlic grow with the pretty allium top? Looking for a garlic that is as pretty as it is delicious!

This garlic sends up a scape in June/July. I harvest them, because they are delicious and if you leave them to bloom the flower takes resources away from the development of good sized garlic heads.

Do you replant every Fall?

When establishing a perennial garlic bed, growers should only take the large plants each year, leaving the smaller ones to die back so they can sprout again next spring. If some garlic is always left in the ground, more will come back next year.

how many bulbs are in one order?

Hi Elizabeth, The amount varies on the size of the bulbs but there is usually 3-4 per 1/2lb.

I live in Tenn. Help me to select the right ones?

How many cloves come with one order?

3-4 bulbs I got, and each bulb contained 3-5 massive cloves. I ended up with around a dozen cloves from 1 order. Less than I figured I’d have.

How many bulbs in .5 lb bag?

A half-pound set of garlic contains approximately 3-4 bulbs. Each bulb contains several cloves for planting. Actual quantity may vary depending on bulb size.

How many cloves?

A half-pound set of garlic contains approximately 3-4 bulbs. Each bulb contains several cloves for planting. Actual quantity may vary depending on bulb size.

Why is shipping of garlic prohibited in 98802?

Unfortunately this happens to be a product that has state or county agricultural regulations, which prohibit shipment. Sometimes there are local/regional quarantines put in place to halt the spread of certain plant diseases, which does not happen often. While these regulations may change in the near future, we apologize that we cannot ship this item to you at the present time.

If .5 lb. order of bulbs has 3-4 bulbs there must be at least a minimum of 9 cloves possibly 16 cloves depending on the size of the  4 bulbs?

This varies greatly by size of the bulb but your approximation seems close to what I have found from other sources.

How. any bulbs in half pound ?

The amount varies on the size of the bulbs but there is usually 3-4 per 1/2lb.
