Garlic Varieties

Nootka Rose Garlic

I previously shared that I planted Inchelium Red Garlic.  Today’s article is about another variety of garlic called Nootka Rose.

Features:

1) Nootka Rose (a softneck type of garlic) is known for storing the longest at 9 to 12 month.

2) While the cloves are layered like an artichoke garlic, it is a silverskin garlic.

3) When grown in the north, silverskins like Nootka Rose may produce a scape.  Typically they have softnecks and can be braided.

4) It grows well in the north and the south.

5) Nootka Rose cloves have a stronger flavor.

6) The bulbs are white.

7) Nootka Rose will usually have between 12 and 20 cloves that have rose streaked wrappers.

I saved some of my Montana Zemo and Chesnok Red Garlic bulbs from last year to replant this year too!
