With cloves so big they almost look like shallots, Krandasger Red will continue to surprise you — from fall planting to first bite. Able to grow at lower temperatures than most, this garlic will be the first to emerge in the spring. Its uniquely large lobes are a snap to separate, peel and prepare —offering a perfectly spicy flavor that won’t disappoint. The gorgeous, thick-skinned, purple striped bulbs are topped with edible scapes that have a delicate and distinct flavor. Use the scapes in your favorite recipes as a replacement for scallions or to punch up a stir fry or salad.
Care: Plant 6-8″ apart, 1-2″ deep. Harvest when all but 3-4 leaves turn dry and brown (usually July). Hang to dry in cool, shady, ventilated area for 2 weeks, then store in a cool dark location.
