About German Red Garlic Bulb - Hardneck

Meet German Red – the rocambole hardneck garlic variety that made its way to North America centuries ago with German immigrants. It's the go-to choice for home gardeners who crave a rich, full-bodied flavour that gets even better as it dries and cures. When it hits the pan, this garlic keeps its bold taste without going bland. Plus, each bulb reliably yields 8-12 large, satiny cloves of white and purple that are easy to peel – a chef's and food lover's dream! While it's versatile, German Red truly thrives in cooler climates.

As it grows, it produces tender scapes that you can enjoy in your meals. Plus, those curly scapes make for a unique and beautiful vase decoration. And if you let them keep growing, you'll be treated to stunning pink flowers from late summer to early fall.

How to Grow Garlic

Planting Garlic

These bulbs can be grown in almost any soil as long as it is well-drained and fertile.
Break the garlic head into cloves before planting.
Plant them with the pointy end up about 5 cm (2 in) deep and 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in) apart.
Water thoroughly after planting.

Growing Garlic

Weed regularly when plants start growing.
Water as needed during active growth periods, but allow the soil to become dry between watering.
All-purpose garden fertilizer applied at the beginning and middle of the growing season is effective.
Growing garlic is also a way to prevent insect infestations in the garden.

Garlic Care

Garlic bulbs are ready to be harvested when you can feel the individual cloves in the bulb, and the leaves turn yellow or brown.
To harvest, carefully lift the bulbs with a spade or a garden fork. Carefully brush off the soil and dry the plants for 2 to 3 weeks in a shaded area with good air circulation.
Once the garlic bulbs are dry, you can store them. Remove any dirt and trim off any roots or leaves.
Bulbs should be stored in a cool 5 °C (40 °F), dark and dry place.

Winterizing Garlic

During the winter months you should check your stored bulbs regularly and promptly use any that show signs of sprouting.
If you plan on planting garlic again next season, save some of your largest bulbs to plant again in the spring.
