German Extra Hardy

German Extra Hardy, also called German White, is a porcelain hardneck garlic prized for exceptional cold tolerance and long storage. It forms large, striking bulbs with typically four to five very large cloves wrapped in thick, satiny white skins. As its name suggests, it is among the most winter-hardy garlics, performing well even in harsh northern climates where milder softnecks struggle. The big cloves are easy to peel and deliver a strong, spicy flavor that stands up to cooking. Like other hardnecks it produces edible scapes in early summer. German Extra Hardy is a dependable choice for cold-region growers who want large cloves, robust flavor, and reliable overwintering, and it stores longer than many other hardneck types.
