Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the two silverskin garlics offered here, Silver White produces bulb wrappers that are thick and white, covering buff colored cloves. This garlic keeps exceptionally well, sometimes up to a year. Because softneck garlics don't develop a stiff central stalk, they are excellent for braiding. Silver White's flavor is full and a bit musky, with a bite that is moderate early on and stronger the longer it is stored.
