Cloves per Bulb: Approximately 4-6 cloves
Flavor Profile: one of the hottest types of garlic
Storage Life: 5-7 months
I received this garlic as well as several soft neck varieties. I planted at the beginning of November and am anxiously awaiting summer to see how it does. I do prefer the hard neck varieties to the soft neck. I found the Medici to have larger cloves, which made them easier to separate, and in turn, making planting easier.
Nice Garlic, looking forward to a great harvest.
Heads were firm and cloves were large 😬
Great condition but I waited too late to plant here in anew England😔. I will purchase again next winter
Metechi (Hardneck) Garlic
Grew these for the past three years and I will keep growing them for many more. I highly recommend them. Great germination rate. Every onion grew to the size of baseballs and others a bit bigger and they store very well.Best long day onion I have ever grow.
I am very happy with my heirloom seeds. I cannot wait to germinate them.
Started my seeds on 12/31/25. I’ve had almost 100% germination and the onion seedlings are a couple of inches tall at this point (1/9/26). Looking forward to a great harvest!
Grew these last year, so I bought more seeds! they were awesome, very prolific and tasted great!!
I started them early....did waterjug winter seed starts .. they did very well....grew up to be nice sturdy plants, bearing lots of fruit! Thank You!!
