Egeler Organic Seed Garlic

Great flavored, semi-hardneck variety that outperforms others on our Michigan farm. While Mike was out walking on our farm a few years ago he chanced upon some bulbils of this seemingly feral garlic. He planted the bulbils that first year and after replanting for several years we had very large heads. We wish we knew what kind it is, but it outperforms all of our other varieties at our farm with it's bulb size, clove size, and mature height. At first glance it looks like a hardneck because it has scapes, but oddly, it has a softneck so we don't know what group it belongs to. It has a medium, spicy flavor. Averages 8-12 cloves per bulb. We named it Egeler after the farming family who lived on this farm before us and who very likely planted this variety on our farm. Try this one and you'll be impressed with it's vigor, size, and flavor. Mid storage life (about 5 months).  Type: Semi-Hardneck Zones 5-9 Bulb Sizes (diameter in inches): Large= 2-2.5", Medium=1.75-2", Small/Culinary= 1.5-1.7
