Garlic Seed Variety Spotlight
Susanville: Versatile & Flavorful
Some people we talk to have never heard of the Susanville garlic seed variety. So I would like to introduce Susanville garlic to you. Susanville is an Artichoke Softneck varietyof garlic with pink or purple streaking that is a very prolific grower. Susanville is an improved versionof the California Early variety. As you can see, Susanville can produce huge garlic bulbs! Artichoke varieties have layers of cloves inside the bulb. Susanville regularly produces 12-15 cloves per bulb! For you garlic seed growers, that's 12-15 plants yield per bulb. Now, if you are a fan of roasted garlic, Susanville is also for you. Susanville's flavor will please any garlic lover, raw or roasted. As you can see below, the cloves are exceptional as well. These are cloves from 1 bulb of Susanville Garlic Seed.
For our Farmer's Market sellers, if you sell by the pound, Susanville Garlic Seed is our recommended choice. You plant 12-15 cloves (sometimes more) and yield a pound of garlic from 4-5 plants (average). A great investment! Susanville is also our selection for Garlic Braids.
Susanville is also are easiest grower. It is what we recommend for our beginner garlic growers. It loves cold winters especially. Please note that we did not fertilize this variety at all last year. And if we use any fertilizer at all, it is an organic foliar fertilizer.
