Nootka Rose Certified Organic Garlic Bulbs

Nootka Rose Garlic is a Pacific Northwest heirloom from the San Juan Islands of Washington state — a softneck variety with a distinctive and beautiful appearance: crystal-white outer bulb skins giving way to vibrant red-streaked mahogany clove wrappers that make each bulb as visually striking as it is flavorful. The strong, zesty flavor delivers genuine garlic depth and character across every application — roasting, sautéing, raw preparations, and long-cooked dishes alike — from a variety remarkably adaptable to climates from wet to arid and cool to hot. The standout practical quality: exceptional storability of up to one year — making Nootka Rose the garlic that keeps producing kitchen value from summer harvest all the way to the following spring. USDA-Certified Organic, cold hardy in Zones 3–9.

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.

Up to One Year of Storage — The Longest-Keeping Garlic

Nootka Rose’s storage life is genuinely exceptional — up to one year under proper conditions, outlasting most other garlic varieties by months. Where standard softneck varieties store 6–8 months, Nootka Rose continues providing fresh, high-quality garlic cloves from summer harvest through the following spring. That extraordinary keeping quality makes it particularly valuable for home gardeners who want to be self-sufficient in garlic through the entire year on a single fall planting.

San Juan Islands, Washington — Pacific Northwest Heirloom

The San Juan Islands origin gives Nootka Rose a specific and meaningful Pacific Northwest identity — a heirloom variety from one of the most distinctive agricultural micro-climates in North America, where the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains creates a uniquely mild and temperate island climate. The variety’s remarkable climate adaptability — wet to arid, cool to hot — reflects its development in a maritime environment that regularly experiences both extremes.

Red-Streaked Mahogany Cloves — Beautiful for Braiding

The visual character of Nootka Rose is genuinely distinctive. The crystal-white outer bulb skins contrast with vibrant red-streaked mahogany inner clove wrappers — making each harvested bulb beautiful in its own right and stunning when braided into storage ropes. The 15–20 cloves per bulb make generous braids with excellent yield per harvest.
