Softneck Garlic

Softneck garlic lacks a stiff flower stalk, leaving soft, pliable leaves that are perfect for braiding after harvest. Bulbs hold multiple layers of cloves, often yielding more cloves per bulb than hardneck varieties. Softnecks are known for excellent storage life, keeping well for six to nine months when properly cured. They adapt readily to a wide range of climates, including regions with milder winters. This is the classic, dependable garlic for gardeners who want a long-lasting supply for the kitchen.
