Serpentine garlic 'Rose de Lautrec' / 'Edenrose'

Product number: 306321.1
Origin: Southern Europe
Latin: Allium sativum var ophioscorodon

IN RECENT YEARS, IT HAS PROVEN IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP THIS FINE BREED DISEASE-FREE. WE ARE REFERRING TO THE "SPANISH ROSE DE LAUTREC": MORADO DE PEDRONERA (306274)

This very popular variety from the Lautrec region (Fr) has an elegant pink-flamed skin and cloves. Its beautiful, highly aromatic flavour and long shelf life (up to 12 months) make this variety a collector's item! Harvestable from late June.

How delicious can also be beautiful... (or vice versa). This tasty member of the garlic family grows with 1 or more curls in the stem and is (therefore) particularly decorative. Spiral garlic is called hardneck garlic in English and is generally stronger in flavour than the so-called softneck varieties.

Denominations:
Latin: Allium sativum var ophioscorodon
Dutch: Spiraalknoflook
Also known as: Esculaapui
English: Serpent Garlic Hardneck

Garlic can be planted year-round, provided the cloves are in good condition. Most varieties are available in autumn and winter. We offer varieties that are successfully grown in the Netherlands. Immediately upon receipt, break open the bulb and plant the cloves in the ground: 2-5 cm deep and 10-20 cm apart. Planted in autumn, the garlic will emerge in February (or earlier), and can be harvested in June-July. Planted later, of course, means a later harvest. Harvesting is not mandatory; garlic is winter-hardy and can remain in the ground. After harvesting, braid the foliage as you sometimes see garlic in stores and dry the bulbs in the sun. They can sometimes be stored for up to a year indoors! Cultivation is not difficult, but good tips can be found in our cultivation description in PDF (see bottom of the website). Garlic is said to deter aphids in, for example, roses – worth a try!
