German Hardneck Music Seed Garlic

Description

German Hardneck Music Seed Garlic is a Porcelain variety of garlic that produces large bulbs of garlic with 4-6 giant cloves. This variety of garlic is bred for seasonal climates that experience a hard frost. The individual cloves are planted in mid-October and best suited for Hardiness Zones 2 to 6.

Music garlic boasts a rich garlicky flavor, strong and spicy when eaten raw or sautéed. When roasted, the garlic develops a “creamy” taste that is sweeter and full in flavor without bitterness. Many customers with garlic intolerance have had success eating garlic prepared this way.
