Artichoke Garlic
Artichoke is the classic softneck: no woody stalk, more cloves per bulb, and the longest storage of any garlic we grow. Mild, dependable, and easy to braid, it is the most forgiving garlic for warmer gardens and the everyday choice for the kitchen.
Artichoke seed garlic we grow
Four certified organic artichoke varieties, grown in volcanic soil and reserved for fall planting.
What sets artichoke apart
The longest keeper
Cured and stored well, artichoke garlic holds for eight to ten months, longer than any hardneck we grow.
More cloves per bulb
Softnecks pack in more cloves than a hardneck, a real value for both planting and the kitchen.
Mild, everyday flavor
A gentle, well-rounded garlic flavor that works raw or cooked without overpowering a dish.
Braids beautifully
With no stiff central stalk, the soft necks braid into the classic hanging garlic ropes.
Best climates for artichoke
Artichoke thrives across a wide range, roughly USDA zones 4 through 9, and is the softneck that handles milder winters best. It benefits from a cool season but does not strictly require the deep vernalization a hardneck needs, which makes it the more forgiving choice where winters are short.
That adaptability, plus its long storage, is why artichoke softnecks are the backbone of most kitchens and the easiest garlic to recommend to a first-time grower.
