German Red Hardneck Seed Garlic - 2 Bulbs
For true garlic lovers, this light purple-skinned, hardneck rocambole-type is known for its robust, spicy flavor. German Red is well adapted to northern climates, and stores well. Medium-sized cloves, 8–9 per head. Garlic prefers to grow in cooler temperatures. Choose a sunny location with rich well-drained garden soil. For areas with heavy clay soils, amend with sand and organic matter for best results prior to planting. Garlic prefers a soil pH of 6.2-6.8 in a slightly dry area of the garden.

If any green sprouts are visible above the ground before winter, mulch heavily for winter protection. If buying in spring - plant as soon as possible in early spring once the soil is workable. This is usually 2-4 weeks after your last frost date.
