Porcelain Garlics

The garlics for sale on this page belong to the Porcelain hardneck 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. We highly recommend Porcelains for growing anywhere in Canada.

Quantity and Price

The price is $3.50 Canadian per bulb when you order 5 or more bulbs of a strain (a named garlic or cultivar) and $4.00 per bulb when you order 1 to 4 bulbs of a strain. If you order more than the allowable maximum number of bulbs, the shopping cart will show a price of $0.00 to indicate that is an invalid order.

Since we have more than 150 strains of garlic planted in a little over an acre there are many garlics for which we only have a small number of bulbs to sell. For each strain we have set a maximum number of bulbs per order so that the garlics are shared fairly.

It is a lot of extra work keeping track of a few bulbs each of so many different garlics. The higher price for small quantities reflects the extra work of being a “seed saver” for garlic and sharing this rich diversity with Canadian collectors, gardeners and farmers.

Customers from the United States and abroad are reminded that Boundary Garlic only exports bulbils. Please enquire for details.
