Product Description

This is the earliest variety of garlic to harvest we know of! From an autumn planting you could be harvesting fresh garlic from as early as late May! White skinned with clean, brilliant white flesh, it tastes delicious. Extra Early will store well until November/December.

Each year we work with our friends at the Garlic Farm, one of the world’s leading garlic farms, and all of our garlic is sourced from them ensuring we always supply superior top quality garlic from expert growers. Easy to grow and care for, it can even be grown in pots on the patio! You should always buy garlic from a reputable source and never plant shop bought, cooking garlic. All of our bulbs are certified as disease and virus free.

FAQs

What's the difference between hardneck and softneck garlic?

Hardneck garlic produces a central flower stalk (called a scape) and has fewer, larger cloves arranged around the stalk. It tends to have a stronger flavour and is better suited for cold climates. Softneck garlic lacks a scape, has more cloves, and stores longer, making it ideal for milder climates.

What is extra early garlic?

Extra early garlic refers to varieties bred to mature faster than standard types. These are usually ready to harvest weeks earlier, making them a great choice for gardeners looking to extend their garlic season or grow in regions with shorter growing periods.

Does extra early garlic taste different?

Yes, extra early garlic can taste slightly different depending on the variety. It often has a milder, sweeter flavour compared to late-season garlic, making it a popular choice for fresh use in dishes.
