We’re smitten with this hard-to-find garlic for its performance in both field and kitchen. Expect 4–6 robust spicy cloves per bulb. Exceptionally long storage life, even among long-storing Porcelains. Plants get taller than just about any hardneck around. The variety originates in the cold climate of either Russia or Belarus. Not an easy variety to come by, so consider sharing seed stock with a friend or neighbor. Keep it in the neighborhood! Our seed stock is from Aroostook County, ME, with love. Eco-grown.NEW!
Items from our perennial plants warehouse will ship around September 30 through October. Bulbs can be planted successfully up until your ground freezes.
Note to Alaska and far north customers: We cannot guarantee an early shipment, so please plan accordingly and order early.
We cannot accommodate specific ship date requests or guarantee your order will arrive by a certain day.

Additional Information
Porcelain Garlic
This hardneck type produces 3–6 very large cloves with tight porcelain-white skins. Excellent storage. Huge cloves are wonderful in the kitchen, and perfect for production pesto-making or baking whole.
Scapes form arches, curls and loose coils, and develop hundreds of tiny grain-sized bulbils. Slower to propagation than other hardnecks. 20–35 cloves per pound.
Seed Garlic
The bulb size, the skin color, the flavor, and the size and number of cloves are partly determined by genetics, and partly by soil and weather. Our size standard for a seed garlic bulb is 2" diameter, but we reserve the right to ship smaller garlic in difficult crop years. Fedco requires every lot of garlic to test negative for both garlic bloat nematode and white rot.
All our garlic is hardy Zones 3-8. See the USDA Hardiness Zone map for more information.
