| Porcelain garlic - Susan
Delafield |
The garlics
described on this page belong to the Porcelain garlic
variety. Porcelains are big, beautiful looking garlics
with satiny white wrappers. They keep well, have
a strong flavour, and do well under a wide variety
of growing conditions. They usually have 4 to 6
large cloves with reddish brown clove skins. The
smaller number of cloves means that when used as
seed garlic they yield fewer plants. If the scapes
are left on the plants to mature, they each produce
hundreds of tiny bulbils which can be planted to
produce full-sized bulbs in about three years. We
highly recommend Porcelains for growing anywhere
in Canada.

Note
on Flavours
Please take our comments on flavour with a generous
pinch of salt. The apparent strength and flavour
of a strain of garlic is an individual perception.
Different people under the same circumstances
can have diametrically opposed views on the
palatability and heat of a strain of garlic. |
