‘German White’ is a hardneck Porcelain garlic that is extremely pungent when eaten raw but mellows when cooked. It is a great variety for dishes that call for strong garlic flavor. The wrappers have a touch of purple to them while the bulbs are a nice cream color, with each bulb having about 4-7 large cloves that peel easily. ‘German White’ is easy to grow and great for beginners. Like all garlic, this variety does best in full sun with well-drained soil that has been prepared with ample amounts of compost. It is a high-producing garlic and will last for 4-6 months when stored in a cool, dry location.

Softneck garlic varieties or Allium sativum grow best in milder climates (zones 8-12). They do not require cold exposure to make bulbs likehardnecks do and they mature more quickly. Softneck varieties also store better than hardneck.

All garlic sold by Big Elk Garlic Farm is a perishable food item that is naturally dried using only sunlight and air. It needs to be stored properly until use in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
