Nootka Rose Softneck Garlic - USDA Certified Organic

Cloves per bulb: 12-20

This popular heirloom hails from the San Juan Islands off the Washington coast. It is a widely adapted cultivar that has proven to be consistently productive in wet to arid and cool to hot climates. Crystal-white bulb skins give way to red-streaked clove wrappers. The medium to large bulbs contain 12–20 strongly-flavored cloves in multiple layers. 'Nootka Rose' makes very attractive garlic braids and is credited with being one of the longest-storing cultivars—storing up to a year. As a softneck garlic, no cold period is needed, making it an easy choice for southern gardeners. Mid- to late harvest.

Due to state restrictions, we cannot ship garlic to Idaho, Hawaii, and the following counties in Washington—Adams, Benton, Franklin, Grant, and Klickitat (including cities such as Othello, Pasco, Moses Lake, Kennewick, and Richland). Please do not order garlic if you live in one of these locations.

We source our garlic from local farms, where passionate farmers hand-harvest each bulb. This commitment not only supports our community but also ensures top-notch quality and flavor in every product.

A bold flavor with a long storage life of up to a year, Nootka Rose is an all-around classic. We love it in everything, but it definitely will define your dish as being a garlicky one. Make perfect, zingy garlic bread or a potent garlic hummus. Since it’s a softneck, you can keep a braid of this variety hanging in the kitchen for up to a year to have multipurpose garlic that shines.
