3 Weakly Bolting Hardneck Varieties (Asiatic, Creole and Turban)
A weakly bolting hardneck is garlic that may have a stalk that is less woody than the standard hardnecks or may not have a stalk, depending on conditions. Asiatics have a long beak on the umbel of the bulbil capsule and a few large bulbils. Turban garlics have many small bulbils. Creoles are naturally smaller and prefer warm climates.
Asiatic
The scapes have very long, peculiar beaks that give the Asiatic plant a unique aesthetic appeal. The umbel typically contains a small number of large bulbils, on a short stalk that does not coil. The bulb shape is tapered, with fine purple stripes on white wrappers, and plump, pointy cloves. The plants are yellowish-green and are early to harvest. Harvest Asiatics and Turbans somewhat early, as the bulb wrappers are susceptible to splitting open if left in the ground too long. They make attractive bundles with the scapes left on. Asiatics are small and bright. Be warned by their soft reddish stripes, the teardrop bulbs are full of fire. The plants are pale green, and slightly yellow, with short stalks, and very interesting scapes. 4 to 8 large cloves per bulb. Typically can be stored 5 to 7 months. Harvest 1 to 15 July.
Korean Mountain - Beautiful purplish heads, with very large cloves. It is a vigorous, broadleaf variety with a scape. Full flavor with an extra sharp initial burst of heat; the tingle fades quickly leaving you with a nice mild aftertaste. Long storing garlic. Averages 5 to 7 cloves per bulb.

But we believe the original stock came from the central Asian republic of the same name. It is a glazed purple stripe variety with very colourful bulbs and large cloves
NOT AVALIBLE IN 2022
Creole
Creoles are a specialty type of garlic with excellent storage properties and a subtle, exquisite beauty that more than compensates for the modest size of the bulbs. The cloves stay firm well into the next garlic harvest. Creoles hide most of their colour in the clove wrappers, under glamour of satiny white skin. The colour of the bulb resides almost entirely in the clove skins, ranging from deep purples and reds, to a soft pink. The scapes emerge and mature late, are very slender during development and droop down elegantly. Creoles also have a tendency to grow side cloves outside of the main bulb. Creoles store amazingly well, and are known for having complex and pleasing flavours. Can be stored 6 to 8 months. Harvest in Southern Ontario July 10 to July 20.
Rose de Lautrec - The famous garlic of France. In France the white bulb wrappers are traditionally peeled back to the last layer to reveal the soft pink colour of the clove skins. The pink-skin cloves are crisp and juicy but somewhat less sticky than everyday white-skin garlic and they keep well. Apart from its undeniable beauty, Rose de Lautrec is also distinguished for its aromatic and extremely sharp flavor. It has a savory sweet mild taste with an influence of Dijon mustard, it makes an outstanding choice for pesto, and the best possible choice for garlic butter and roasted caramelized garlic. All but one layer of skin is removed before the garlic is shipped, so peeling is quick. Harvest mid-late season. Averages 10 plump cloves per bulb. Stores 7 to 8 months.
NOT AVALIBLE IN 2022
Ajo Rojo - Heirloom garlic from Spain Ajo Rojo is a distinctive Creole garlic with large bulbs and vibrant re/burgundy clove wrappers. Ajo Rojo garlic is one of the hotter Creole garlics as far as taste when eaten raw but develops a much milder, creamier flavor when baked. Stores well.

There are two softneck varieties: Artichoke, and Silver Skin
Artishok (Softneck)
Artichokes are among the most productive and least problematic. They are ready for harvest early, easily develop large bulbs, and adapt to a wide range of growing conditions. Bulb colour is whitish to purple blush. Artichoke cultivars have multiple clove layers. The cloves are squares-round, and the flavors are timid and unsubtle, according to the garlic world. In northern climes, they straddle the hardneck/softneck line uneasily, being mostly softneck, but with some plants producing “neck-bulbils” (a partially grown scape that does not emerge from the top of the plant). Harvest time for artichokes July 10 – July 20. As a softneck, some of the plants may also fall over, like onions do, just before you’ll want to harvest them – this is another indicator of harvest time. 12 to 20 cloves per bulb and one pound of bulbs will supply about 80 cloves. Bulbs store for 6-9 months.
Sicilian Gold - Originated in Sicily. Classic Italian taste. An excellent producer of large flattened white to beige large bulbs with outer skins mottle purple. It does well in any soil. Robust but not too hot. Mild, with a long-lasting aftertaste. Perfect for pasta sauces and salad dressing. 8-11 cloves per bulb.
NOT AVALIBLE IN 2022
Italian - Artichoke garlic with tight, light colored wrappers surrounding fat, round outer cloves. Very productive. Mild at harvest then hotter as it has time to cure. Harvest when first leaf shows signs of browning, allow growing while curing. Strong rich garlic flavor. Storage up to 6 months. Can be braided. 8 to 12 cloves per bulb, early season harvest.
NOT AVALIBLE IN 2022
Inchelium Red - Inchelium Red is a large and beautiful artichoke garlic with delightfully robust flavor but not so strong as to be overpowering. It is among our bestselling artichoke garlics most years. Inchelium Red has medium rich garlickness and medium pungency, or hotness when eaten raw. From a grower’s perspective, it is a large and healthy garlic to grow and appears to be relatively resistant to most of the diseases that can affect garlic. Inchelium Red usually has anywhere from 10 to 12 very large cloves and even the interior cloves are generally of good size. The outer bulb wrappers are thick and protect the bulb well so it is good storing garlic but still peels easily. For those who want to grow their own garlic it has enough cloves that it doesn’t take but a year or two to grow all you can eat. It harvests in mid-season (late for an artichoke) and takes a little longer than average to cure due to its large size. Bulbs are usually over 2 ½ inches in diameter and will weigh several ounces each.
