About Nootka Rose Certified Organic Garlic
Nootka Rose Garlic is a flavorful Northwest heirloom originating from the picturesque San Juan Islands in Washington state. This organically grown softneck variety combines a striking appearance with a powerful flavor that will elevate your culinary creations. Whether you’re roasting, sautéing, or using it raw, Nootka Rose Garlic delivers a strong, zesty flavor that adds depth and character to your dishes.
Nootka Rose Garlic boasts medium to large bulbs with 15-20 cloves, each showcasing beautiful red streaks on a rich mahogany background. The crystal-white bulb skins gracefully transition into vibrant red-streaked clove wrappers. It’s a visually stunning choice for braiding, adding a touch of rustic charm to your kitchen.
How to Grow Nootka Rose Garlic
This versatile cultivar thrives in a wide range of climates, from wet to arid, and cool to hot. Nootka Rose Garlic can be planted in the fall or spring and typically matures in about 240 days for fall planting and 90 days for spring planting. For optimal growth, plant the cloves in well-drained, organically rich soil with full sun exposure. Space the cloves 4-6 inches apart in rows 6 inches apart, planting them 1-2 inches deep with the flat side down.
Nootka Rose Garlic is known for its exceptional storability, lasting up to a year, allowing you to savor its robust flavor long after harvest. The tops can be left on and braided into ropes for storage and decorations, adding both utility and beauty to your kitchen.
Our garlic is USDA certified organic, ensuring it’s grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. This commitment to organic farming supports healthier, sustainable crops and enhances soil health, providing you with top-quality produce for your garden and kitchen.

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.
