Softneck
1 full head
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!
Type: Artichoke
Cloves per Bulb: Approximately 4-20 cloves
Flavor Profile: mild pungent taste with a medium level of spiciness
Storage Life: 8-10 months
The garlic bulbs arrived timely and looked healthy. It was so nice to be able to order a small quantity at a reasonable price. Thank you

I had missed out on the opportunity to buy garlic for fall planting. I happened to hop on the website randomly one morning and see the garlic grab boxes so I immediately purchased! I'm so thankful I did. This is my first year planting garlic in Oklahoma and I cannot wait to harvest next year!
I planted my garlic in October. I can’t wait to see how they turn out next summer.
Packaged well, delivered on time, and great quality for the cost.
Alabama here. My order, 2 Early Italian & 2 Silverwhite softneck garlic were delivered and packaged nicely. I’ve never ordered garlic before didn’t know which types to order, so, I looked at the reviews and made my decision from that. On Nov. 7 they were planted in containers after our first frost, before planting, I placed them in the fridge about 4 weeks and then waited 3 days before I could plant them, Silverwhite had a little brown discoloration probably from refrigeration. Planted 45 cloves, so far, 20 have sprouted, last counted them the day before. I Truly believe it will be a successful harvest. Excited, can’t wait till spring gets here.

Seed garlic arrived in great condition. I just got them planted, so I can’t speak about successful “germination” or harvesting, yet. But, I always have great success with anything I purchase from MIGardener. 😊
