Music Garlic is a premium hardneck garlic variety, renowned for its large cloves and bold, spicy flavor. This garlic variety produces 4 to 6 large, easy-to-peel cloves per bulb, that are deal for roasting, adding to sauces, or using raw in dishes where a strong garlic flavor is desired. This hardneck garlic has the added benefit of growing garlic scapes that can reach up to 3 feet tall. Garlic scapes, or flower stalks, have a milder garlic flavor that can be harvested in early summer to be used for pesto, stir-fries, or simply as a garnish. Hardneck garlic is an excellent choice for northern gardeners due to its superior cold tolerance and storage-ability. Music Garlic was cultivated by Al Music, a garlic grower who brought this variety all the way from Italy and improved to thrive in North American conditions. Music Garlic has high allicin content, which is highly valued for strong flavor and source of Vitamin B6.
Growing garlic at home from bulbs is easy and rewarding. Each hardneck garlic clove can grow into a large bulb 4-6 times its weight, or 4-6 pounds of yield per pound of seed garlic planted, within one year of planting. Plant in Fall for a late Spring/early Summer harvest or plant in early Spring for a harvest in the same season.
Also Known As: Music Hardneck Garlic, White Musik Garlic, Northern Music Rocambole, Music Heirloom Hard Neck Garlic, Porcelain Garlic.

Planting Instructions:
Soil Preparation:
Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Till the soil 8-10 inches deep and rake several times to break up large clods. It is best to do this when the soil is dry enough to not stick to garden tools. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots.Planting:
Divide the bulb into individual cloves, leaving the papery skins on the cloves. Plant each clove with the narrow tip facing upwards 2 inches deep in soil. Try to plant cloves in well-drained soil rich in organic matter and full sun immediately after cracking the bulb into cloves. Plant Fall-planted garlic 4-6 weeks before the average first frost date for a harvest in Early Summer, about 240 days from planting. Apply 3 inches thick of mulch, such as dried grass, leaves, or straw, to best overwinter garlic. Remove mulch in Spring after the average first frost-free date to allow the soil to warm.
Spring-planted garlic may not reach the same bulb size as if garlic were Fall-planted but can still produce good yields. Plant cloves when the soil reaches at least 55F for a harvest in the same season, about 90 days from planting.
| Depth: |
2 inches |
| Within-Row Spacing: | 6 inches |
| Between-Row Spacing: | 6 - 12 inches |
Care During the Season:
Pruning: Garlic scapes, or the hardneck garlic flower stalk, will grow in late Spring/early Summer. Cut off garlic scapes to promote growth of bulbs by as much as 40%. Garlic scapes are a delicacy and can be used in many dishes.
Harvesting:
When the neck of the garlic stalk starts to brown, about 5 of the outermost leaves have died, about a few weeks after scaping, usually from late June - July, the garlic is ready to harvest. Pull a garlic plant and check for size. If cloves have formed and the bulbs are a good size, harvest the bulbs, shake off loose soil, and let dry in a shady area for 24 hours.
Cure the bulbs by leaving in a dry environment for 2-4 weeks. Optionally, tie tops in bunches then allow bulbs to continue curing. Bulbs cured properly can be stored for 8-9 months.
