German Red (Hardneck) Garlic
The best planting garlic I have ever bought! HUGE!!
This is my first year planting garlic and I was excited to see that MiGardner offered so many different varieties. I ordered German Red and it arrived nicely packaged in a bag;inside a box. The head of garlic was of a nice size and intact. At the time of planting, I had broke the cloves apart and noticed not one clove was rotten.
I am satisfied with my purchase and look forward to the Summer Harvest.
Arrived in very good condition. Can’t wait to plant!
Wonderful variety of garlic, at a great price
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!!
