We are so pleased to announce that we are in our second year growing Western Rose, our first Softneck Garlic, available in August 2025. Softnecks are known for braiding and for their exceptionally long storage life.
Western Rose is mild to moderate in garlic flavour, and has many small cloves that are easy to peel. Expect 12-15 very small to medium cloves per bulb, and a storage life of up to 1 year (or longer!) if stored in the right conditions.
Softneck garlics can be trickier to grow on the west coast, and are harvested earlier than hardnecks. You want to pull these ones when there is just one or two yellowing leaves. Braid them to cure and then keep the braid in storage to cut one bulb at a time to use as needed.
Medium size bulbs are 1.75"-2";
Large size bulbs are 2"-2.5";
Discount will be applied at checkout for bulb quantities of 20 or more.
