Garlic 'Music'

Product number: 306275.1
Origin: Central Asia
Latin: Allium sativum var ophioscorodon subvar porcelain

A beautiful large dark green plant. The bulb has beautiful satin-white skins with 4-6 large cloves. The taste is strong and robust and lingers for a long time. Due to the smooth, tight bulb skins, they can be stored for a long time. The flower stalk often has the shape of a pretzel.

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 taste than the so-called softneck varieties.

Names:
Latin: Allium sativum var ophioscorodon subvar porcelain
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 in stock during autumn and winter. We supply varieties that are successfully cultivated 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. When planted in autumn, the garlic will emerge in February (or earlier) and can be harvested in June-July. Later planting naturally means a later harvest. Harvesting is not mandatory; garlic is winter-hardy and can also 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 you can find useful tips in our cultivation guide in PDF (see bottom of the website). Garlic is said to deter aphids in, for example, roses – worth a try!
