Gypsy Rose garlic is a premium hardneck variety from the Porcelain subgroup, valued by growers for its robust bulbs and ease of use in the kitchen. Its bulbs are large, predominantly white, accented beautifully with purple striping. Each bulb typically contains 6 to 8 generously sized cloves, which are easy to peel, making this variety ideal for dishes that require abundant garlic.
Named for the distinctive star-shaped appearance at the tips of peeled cloves, Gypsy Rose garlic provides convenience in preparation and an attractive presentation. It shares similarities in flavor and growing habits with popular varieties like German White and Music, offering a milder yet flavorful garlic taste that enhances dishes without overwhelming them.
All garlic bulbs are grown chemically free in nutrient-rich soil, ensuring premium quality and flavor. Orders are shipped carefully in flat-rate padded envelopes to protect your garlic and preserve freshness.
