For much of the year, we are selling seed that is still in the ground. You can pre-order based on our conservative harvest estimates. If the actual harvest is less than our estimates, we can usually find a similar strain to substitute within the same varietal group, so please check YES to “May We Substitute?”. If you select NO we will send a refund for any sold-out strains. An expert always considers your location, similar traits in strain, and any other strains already on your order to avoid duplicates. You are also welcome to add any notes if you have specific requests for possible substitutions, or you can request that we contact you if substitutions are necessary.
Early Portuguese Garlic is a Turban-type hardneck variety known for its early maturity, attractive appearance, and excellent flavor. This productive variety forms ~8 solid cloves per bulb and produces beautiful bulbs with lightly striped wrappers.
Early Portuguese offers a sweet, enjoyable flavor with a gentle hint of heat, making it a versatile kitchen garlic for everyday cooking. Shared through Salt Spring Seeds via Flora Baartz, this unique Turban is a wonderful choice for growers looking for an early-season garlic with reliable performance and excellent culinary qualities.
NOTE: Maximum allowable order size for this variety is 1 lb.
Few bulbs in the north reach 2+ inches, please note early bird orders will get our biggest bulbs first. We will not send any garlic that is smaller than 1.5 inches. When grown in southern climates, garlic will size up significantly.
