Sicilian Artichoke garlic makes the perfect addition to any traditional Mediterranean dish. This softneck variety of garlic has a well-balanced, mild to spicy flavor profile and classic pearl-white papery skin that may show subtle purple streaks depending on its environmental conditions. The white paper and bold flavor can resemble what you would imagine store-bought garlic to be, but it's only better! This garlic, along with other artichoke-type garlic, is known for overlapping layers of cloves and long storage periods of up to 10 months. Since they have no true flowering stalks (scapes), Sicilian Artichoke garlic is a great variety for braiding and is popular with at-home gardeners.
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.

If you love Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food, this garlic awaits you! The perfect flavor profile for garlicky hummus or tasty, garden-fresh baba ghanoush, Sicilian Artichoke garlic is what you’ve always dreamed supermarket garlic would be like (and we know most market garlic never meets high expectations). Its flavor is pungent but not excessive, and it blends well into your food, whether raw or cooked.

This review is solely for the quality of garlic bulb received. At least 4-5 clubs were completely rotten and unusable. The rest that I manage to salvage and plant actually sprouted fine. We will see the quality of garlic itself next year, but both types of garlic I’ve gotten from BI had rotten cloves in it. That tells me that your storage and also quality check is lacking.
I’m not sure I will buy garlic seed bulbs from botanical ever again.

So pleased with this garlic! As always, items are shipped in a way that protects the garlic bulb for planting. I haven’t harvested this garlic since it was only planted this fall. But each bulb has produced and grown green stalks so far!
- Elissa T.Rated 5 out of 5 starsNov 9, 20235 Stars
Last fall I planted just two varieties of softneck garlic. My Sicilian Artichoke was by far the better producer. I have planted it again this fall along with 6 other varieties, three being hardneck. I love garlic!
