{"product_id":"music-garlic-lb","title":"Music Garlic (lb)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusic seed garlic\u003c\/strong\u003e is the celebrated Porcelain hardneck brought from Italy to Canada by grower Al Music in the 1980s and named in his honor. It became a leading garlic in Ontario and Quebec before spreading widely across North American gardens. Large easy-peel cloves, clean white wrappers, edible scapes, and balanced flavor explain its enduring popularity. Organic and Conventional options are available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMix \u0026amp; match savings.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e This item is eligible for the Garlic Mix \u0026amp; Match discount.

It is an easy variety to recommend to someone trying hardneck garlic for the first time, yet its Italian-to-Canadian story and dependable performance keep experienced growers coming back. The balanced flavor fits nearly any kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe flavor is rich and medium in heat rather than aggressively sharp. Raw cloves add classic garlic presence to pesto, hummus, dressings, and marinades; roasting transforms them into a smooth, aromatic paste for bread, potatoes, sauces, and soups. Because the cloves are broad and easy to peel, Music is especially convenient for recipes that use whole cloves or require a large quantity of prepared garlic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen growing Music, plant the large cloves in fall where they will receive full sun and a proper winter chill. Its vigorous leaves appreciate consistent moisture during spring, along with room free of weed competition. Harvest the scapes once they make a curl for a tender bonus crop. Check bulb maturity around mid-summer as lower leaves brown, then lift carefully and cure the white bulbs with good air circulation before storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVariety Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Porcelain hardneck garlic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich, balanced, and medium in heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulbs \u0026amp; Cloves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Typically 4–7 cloves per bulb; bulb size and count vary with growing conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth white outer wrappers with pink to purple inner skins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate Harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-summer; timing varies by climate and planting date\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZones \u0026amp; Climate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zones 2–10; famous for performance in cold Canadian regions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good hardneck keeping potential after complete curing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSomething Special:\u003c\/strong\u003e An Italian-to-Canadian heirloom named for grower Al Music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompare Garlic Varieties\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor planting and variety guidance, visit the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.groworganic.com\/pages\/garlic-resource-center\"\u003eGarlic Resource Center\u003c\/a\u003e, use the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.groworganic.com\/pages\/garlic-selector\"\u003eGarlic Selector\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.groworganic.com\/collections\/seed-garlic-and-shallots\"\u003eSeed Garlic \u0026amp; Shallots\u003c\/a\u003e.
