German White Garlic is a hardneck that typically has 4-7 symmetrical large cloves per bulb that is very easy to peel. German White garlic seeds are very hardy, and Full of flavor, it is a very good all-purpose variety and is among the best varieties for roasting.

This variety is a hardneck which means it will grow a garlic scape which is the flower of the garlic plant.  The scape should be snapped off once the stem starts to curl to send the energy to the bulb rather than the flower.  Garlic scapes are very tasty and can be used in stir-fry or however you use garlic currently.
