One of my favorite hardneck varieties that I've been growing for a few years now. It stores well and the large cloves are easy to peel. I also look forward to harvesting the delicious scapes that appear in late spring, usually about the second week of May, although in this cool-season year they showed up around the 1st of June. Cut the scapes after they have made at least one loop. This practice is said to allow all of the energy to go back into the plant and help it grow bigger bulbs. Only hardneck varieties of garlic will grow scapes.
