Music

Music is one of the most popular hardneck garlic varieties in North America, a porcelain type brought to Canada from Italy by grower Al Music in the 1980s. It produces large, easy-to-peel cloves, typically four to six per bulb, wrapped in thick white skins that store exceptionally well for a hardneck. As a hardneck, Music sends up a central flower stalk called a scape, which is removed to direct energy into the bulb and provides an edible early-season treat. It is notably cold hardy and thrives in northern climates, making it a favorite for gardeners in cooler regions. Music offers robust flavor, big cloves, and reliable performance, cementing its status as a benchmark porcelain garlic.
