Cloves per bulb: 6-8
A staple in Chinese cuisine and garlic markets, Shandong hails from the province of the same name on China's eastern coast. This early-harvest Turban hardneck variety is a standout for its lightning-fast maturity and striking appearance. Bulbs are white with vivid purple streaking and contain 6–8 crescent-shaped cloves with easy-to-peel wrappers. Its raw flavor packs serious heat—bold and fiery with a punchy, pungent bite—while cooking mellows it into a savory, nutty warmth. Shandong thrives in a range of climates and is a great option for those seeking quick harvests and big flavor. Best used fresh; stores up to 5 months.
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.

- Renee-Epic J.MD, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsJun 10, 2026Worthwhile
Planted in a raised bed, mid-October in zone 7. They sprouted early but overwintered wonderfully despite that and freezing temperatures. Had to harvest a few early after some critter interference in the garden and the ones that I pulled out were already chunky and robust in May.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with the Shandong Hardneck Garlic! It's wonderful to hear that despite the early sprouting and those pesky garden critters, your garlic overwintered beautifully and was already looking chunky and robust by May.
Zone 7 can be tricky with those temperature swings, but it sounds like these hardy bulbs handled everything Mother Nature threw at them! Even with having to harvest some early due to critter interference, it's fantastic that you were already seeing such promising development.
We really appreciate you sharing the details about your planting timeline and growing conditions - that kind of real-world feedback is so helpful for fellow gardeners considering these organic garlic bulbs.
Thank you for that wonderful 5-star rating and for being part of our growing community! Keep on growing 🌻️
