Garlic Seed at Adams Garlic

Hardneck garlic:

  • Is named for the long flowering stem in the center of the garlic bulb, called a scape
  • Produces a scape, which is edible
  • Consists of 4-12 large, easy-to-peel cloves in each bulb
  • Thrives in regions with cold winters.  Some varieties also do well in milder climates.
  • Offers greater richness and complexity of flavor than softneck counterparts
  • Stores for 6-12 months, depending on variety and storage conditions

Our garlic seed is categorized into two hardneck garlic subtypes.

  • Porcelain
    • We grow Music, German Extra Hardy, and Georgian Fire.
    • Very hardy and will grow well in most of the US, though not as reliably in the southernmost US
    • Thick white garlic wrappers; clove wrappers are golden brown with purple streaks
    • Contain 4-6 very large cloves per bulb
    • Rich flavor with earthy muskiness, strong flavor
    • Store 9-12 months
    • The densest of all garlics and weigh more per unit of volume than other kinds or garlic; research suggests that this trait makes Porcelains a superior medicinal garlic, particularly because of high allicin content
    • One pound of garlic seed will yield approximately 40 plants, which yields 4-5 pounds of garlic

    • Thick white wrappers with purple stripes; cloves are tall and crescent shaped with elongated tips
    • Very flavorful, particularly for baking and roasting
    • Contain 8-12 cloves per bulb
    • Store 6 months
    • One pound of garlic seed will yield approximately 60 plants, which yields 5-7 pounds of garlic

How much garlic seed should I order?

Field of Garlic at Adams Garlic

Let’s keep it simple.  How many pounds of garlic would you like to harvest?  One pound of garlic seed contains approximately 8 bulbs of the large diameter garlic (1.75 and larger).   Each pound of hardneck garlic planted will produce four to seven pounds of garlic, or 40-70 bulbs of garlic.

In 2016, the Music, German Extra Hardy, Persian Star, and Georgian Fire yielded four to five pounds for every pound planted.  The Chesnok Red yielded seven pounds of very large garlic for every pound planted.

Music Garlic, Seed and Eating Garlic

Music Garlic

 

Music garlic seed and eating garlic is a favorite here at Adams Garlic.

First of all, the name “Music” makes me just want to sit back with a glass of lemonade, watch a beautiful sunset, and listen…to the music, or the wind in the trees, or the birds…

I’m not sure that it’s the name, but Music garlic is a favorite in our home and for our customers.  With its rich and strong, robust and musky flavor, Music garlic has a medium to hot kick when eaten raw, but in its cooked form Music offers an incredible garlicky flavor to any dish.  Because each bulb contains five to seven very large, easy-to-peel cloves, cooking with Music is a breeze.

For the garlic grower, Music garlic seed will plant approximately 40 cloves for every pound of seed.  The plants are vigorous, tall, dark and vibrant green, and the germination rate is excellent.  I have read that Music appears resistant to many diseases that affect garlic.  Music is a reliable hardneck garlic to grow.

Music garlic is an heirloom garlic brought to Canada by Al Music from his homeland of Italy.  It is a porcelain hardneck and with white wrappers and beautifully rose-colored cloves.  Music garlic stores for nine to twelve months under the proper storage conditions.
