Hardneck types form larger cloves than Softnecks, but do not keep as long.Virus-free French varieties: Try these specially-prepared types for healthier plants and larger harvests of tasty cloves! These varieties come from certified virus free stock. They have the added bonus of also being ideal to harvest in May as 'green garlic' - a delicious, mildy flavoured vegetable much favoured in the restaurant trade. November onward Garlic 'scapes': food for free - almost! Plant our 'hardneck' garlics and you will get a delicious bonus! These varieties produce a green flower stalk - known as a scape and this is usually removed to encourage bulb development. If the scape is cut when it is young and tender it becomes a delicious novel vegetable in its own right. Scapes can be used in stir fries, sauces and just about any dish where a mild garlic taste is appreciated.
