We are proud to offer you three types of hardneck garlic from Juneau's very own Master Gardener, Joe Orsi.
What grows best here? I have done crop trials with 43 varieties of garlic near Auke Bay. My conclusions are that all can be grown here, but the more ancestral “hardneck” types perform best in our climate. Additionally, a few hardneck varieties have proven to be particularly productive with outstanding flavor. These are the ones I continue to grow organically in a sustainable manner. Garlic can be challenging to grow to a large size because it is 10-month crop requiring healthy and fertile soil, and needs proper attention to timing of its culture from planting to harvest. My preferred varieties of hardneck garlic to grow include: Killarney Red (Rocambole), Chesnok Red (Purple stripe), Russian Giant (Porcelain), and Purple Glazer (Marbled purple stripe). These varieties have stood the test of time in Juneau, and all of which taste superb. Each year, large cloves are replanted from the largest bulbs each year to maintain a strong sustainable planting stock.
Chesnok Red (Purple Stripe) 9-10 Cloves -- White and Burgundy cloves. Clean, robust flavor, keeps 6-10 months. Best for baking or roasting.
Exceptional flavor Purple Striped Giant (Porcelain) 4-8 Cloves -- Tan cloves. Mild flavor, keeps 8-10 months, peels easily.
Purple Glazer (Purple Stripe) - 8 Cloves -- Purple and tan cloves. keeps 6 months, spicy, aromatic, pleasant with no hot aftertaste.
