Conventional Legacy Garlic (lb)
Rich, Savory Garlic Flavor
Conventional Legacy Garlic is a flavorful Rocambole hardneck variety cherished for its rich, savory taste, easy-to-peel cloves, and reliable garden performance. Each bulb typically contains approximately 8-12 cloves that develop into attractive, high-quality bulbs well suited for home gardens and culinary use. This Canadian heirloom offers the warm, full-bodied garlic flavor Rocambole varieties are known for, making it an excellent choice for roasting, sautés, soups, sauces, and recipes where garlic takes center stage. When crushed or chopped, it releases a robust garlic aroma with savory undertones that become sweeter and more complex during cooking.
This hardneck garlic performs best when planted in fall for a summer harvest and thrives in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture during active growth. Legacy Garlic grows especially well in regions with dependable winter chill, where it develops vigorous plants and quality bulbs. Like other hardneck varieties, it also produces edible garlic scapes in late spring or early summer that can be harvested for an additional flavorful crop while encouraging larger bulb development.
Conventional Legacy Garlic is an excellent choice for home gardeners and garlic enthusiasts looking for dependable harvests and exceptional flavor. Its rich culinary qualities, attractive bulbs, and easy-to-peel cloves make it a favorite for both experienced growers and those planting hardneck garlic for the first time.
