New York Soft White Garlic

(Allium sativum)
Softneck garlic for braiding.
This is a traditional favorite with New York’s Italian market gardeners, who often call it "Polish White." The skin has a purple blush. It is substantially more winter-hardy and more productive and disease resistant in the North and East than West Coast garlic, though not as hardy or as easy to grow as German Extra-Hardy and Russian Red. Good for braiding.
