The history of Inchelium Red is still commonly unknown. What we do know is that this soft neck variety’s first known location to us was in Washington State. Originally found on the Colville Indian Reservation in Inchelium, this heirloom has been termed the oldest variety cultivated. The deep red striped wrapping is easy to peel from the smooth white flesh of the garlic cloves. In the best growing conditions, the heads can mature up to 20 mid-flavored cloves tightly packed together. As the stem dries out, its strength and malleability make it perfect for braiding to store. Braided garlic will last for up to nine months in a cool dark environment. Like most soft-neck garlic, the Inchelium Red can be grown in both the northern and southern climates producing a great harvest!

Storage Life: 8-10 months

Cloves per Bulb: Approx. 4-20 cloves

So far so good. Received in good condition, good sized bulb. Planted 11/21, sprouted 11/28.

Prolific in zone 9

This seed garlic is great. No rotten cloves, good skin and it planted well. In the ground for 2 weeks in zone 9 and it's already popping up through the pine shaving mulch.

I got about 9 cloves per head to plant. Some of the outer ones were quite large. These have robust outer layers of protection. Once you get to the center cloves break the bottom plate away rather than breaking the cloves away, that will keep you from cracking the outer layers of the cloves. Even if you're using them for cooking, you should keep the flesh of the cloves protected.

Planted this type of garlic last year so I ordered more to increase the size if next years garlic. Has a great taste. Received shipment on time and the bulbs looked great.

Perfect!

Excellent quality and fast delivery
