Description
Built for gardeners in mild-winter zones who were told hardneck garlic wouldn't work for them. This pack pairs Donostia Red Creole (hardneck) with Inchelium Red (softneck), the two varieties on our farm that consistently defy standard garlic wisdom in warm-winter climates.
Donostia Red is a Creole hardneck that tolerates mild winters far better than Porcelain or Rocambole types, delivering sharp, assertive heat that mellows into rich flavor with cooking, and storing 9 to 10 months. Inchelium Red is our top softneck pick, mild and sweet with exceptional storage, and known for overachieving even from small seed stock in zones 7 to 9.
Together they cover both garlic types with none of the vernalization headaches most hardnecks bring to southern gardens. Each pack includes approximately 8 to 14 seed cloves per variety. New to growing garlic? See our complete growing guide for step-by-step planting instructions.
