Description

A wonderful and unique Porcelain garlic that grows well under a wide range of growing conditions. Its hardiness and good yields have made this variety a popular choice for many gardeners across all growing regions of Canada.       

It performs very well in cold climates and has noticeably tall plants, lending to its name "Majestic". It has large, tight bulbs with very fat cloves (averages 5 to 6 cloves per bulb). Scape removal is important for maximum bulb size. Due to its robust wrappers, plants can be left in the ground at harvest slightly longer than other varieties to allow maximum filling.

Outer wrappers range in colour from white to slightly purple, depending on growing conditions. Cloves are tan to pink and are hot when eaten raw, sweet when baked, and mild when cooked.

Garlic is a heavy feeder. For best results, apply a well-balanced organic fertilizer at planting and in spring. Planting a green manure cover crop the season before growing garlic is also recommended. 

Grow Guide
  • Date: September 15 - November 15. Plant 4 to 5 weeks before ground freezes
  • Planting: Push cloves into loose soil with the tips pointing up
  • Depth: 1-2" (from clove tip to soil surface)
  • Spacing: 10-12" between rows, cloves 5-6" apart within row
  • Fertility: Garlic performs best in fertile soils. Organic fertilizer is recommended 
  • Mulching: Cover with 4-5" of straw, grass or leaves in fall. Remove in spring. 
  • Watering: 1"/week clay soil, 2"/week sandy soils
  • Scapes: Cut and harvest scapes when beginning to curl
  • Harvest: Dig bulbs when plants have 3 to 4 green leaves remaining
  • Drying: Place bulbs in a warm, dry area with lots of air flow.
