Seed Garlic - Southern Softneck - Organically Grown

Southern Softneck is a reliable, high-yielding garlic selected for strong bulb production, long storage life, and adaptability to milder winter climates. Unlike hardneck types, it does not produce a flower stalk, directing its energy into forming generous bulbs with multiple tightly packed cloves.

The bulbs are typically smooth-skinned with creamy white wrappers, sometimes carrying the faintest blush depending on season. The flavour is clean and balanced, with a steady warmth that sweetens beautifully when roasted.

Softneck garlics have been traditionally favoured in warmer growing regions for their storage ability, often keeping for up to a year when properly cured. For growers wanting dependable performance and excellent keeping quality, Southern Softneck is a practical and consistent choice.

Spacing: 10–15cm 

Growing Conditions

Plant in late autumn to early winter in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Prefers full sun and consistent moisture through winter and spring, then drier conditions as bulbs mature in early to mid summer. Frost hardy. Does not produce scapes.

Uses

Ideal for everyday cooking, crushing, slicing, roasting, preserving, or braiding for storage. Its strong keeping quality makes it well suited for households wanting garlic year around.
