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

Great fertilizer. Used for the first time last year for my fall bulbs and they were stunning and strong come spring. Planting another 250 bulbs this fall so came back for more bulb fertilizer. I also use the Trifecta. Can’t go wrong with any of Luke’s amendments.
Great germination and very prolific.
I grew this in a straw bale garden in 2025 and really enjoyed it. It grew amazingly well and was beautiful, so I purchased more for 2026. Michigan zone 6b.
I have grown these for the last few years and they are hands down my favorite. I like romas and firm tomatoes. These remind me of mini romas. These are less prone to splitting, super easy to harvest and has a super great flavor and very meaty. YUM!
The cloves are large, full and heavy. Of the two cloves I kept (shared 2 with my daughter), 12 were large enough to plant, 1 will be consumed.
