🌿 German Extra Hardy garlic, also referred to as German White, Northern White, or German Stiffneck, is a classic porcelain garlic variety cherished for its large, beautiful, and well-formed cloves. This garlic is known for its robust, long-lasting flavor, which remains strong even after harvesting and storage. The average weight of individual cloves ranges from 5 to 6 grams, making them ideal for culinary use, whether roasted, minced, or added to sauces and stews.
From a grower’s perspective, German Extra Hardy is a tall, dark green garlic plant with vigorous growth. It is highly resilient and generally demonstrates strong resistance to many common garlic diseases, making it a reliable choice for home gardeners and small-scale farmers. The plant thrives in cooler climates, originally hailing from Germany, but it adapts well to a wide range of temperate regions. While it grows best outside the southernmost areas, it remains productive in most locations where the soil is fertile and well-draining.
Being a porcelain type, German Extra Hardy garlic has excellent storage qualities. Once harvested, it can be stored in a cool room for 9–10 months or even longer without losing flavor or quality. Its long shelf life makes it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to enjoy fresh garlic year-round. The stiffneck variety produces multiple large cloves per bulb, which are easy to separate and plant for the next growing season.
