Applegate Garlic - Rare Heirloom Hardneck Variety

Applegate Garlic is a striking and flavorful hardneck variety prized by chefs and gardeners alike. With large, easy-to-peel cloves and a rich, full-bodied flavor, this heirloom offers the perfect balance of heat and sweetness. Its beautiful purple-striped wrappers make it as attractive as it is delicious.

Applegate thrives in cold climates and stores exceptionally well for a hardneck, making it a reliable choice for northern growers. When roasted, its flavor becomes buttery and smooth, while raw it delivers a bold, spicy bite ideal for sauces and marinades.

This variety produces sturdy bulbs with 6–8 plump cloves each, and strong green stalks that grow well in both garden beds and raised planters. Whether you’re planting for your kitchen or for market sales, Applegate Garlic is a standout performer that combines beauty, taste, and dependability.
