Hardneck varieties - (Allium sativum var. ophioscorodon):
Notes as a single ring of cloves surrounding a stiff central stem that curls as it grows. - otherwise later known as a scape - Most cold-hardy of the garlics, but doesn’t store as well as soft necks.  The cloves are easy to peel. Hardneck varieties include Rocambole, Purple-Striped and Porcelain types.  We currently have the following varieties:


                                            Porcelain Type                  Rocambole Type           Purple Stripe Type

Softneck varieties (Allium sativum var. sativum):  
Given this type as their necks tend to stay soft at harvest time, so they can be easily braided.  Softneck varieties will produces large cloves around the outside, and smaller cloves in the middle. Most have a strong flavor, stores well and are less winter-hardy than stiffnecked varieties. Varieties found in supermarkets are most often softnecks. Includes Silverskin and Artichoke types.
