Not all Garlic is Worth its Salt
Most of the garlic produced in the US comes from the milder regions of the Northwest. Southern growers looking for garlic adapted to their area are often left out in the cold! Here at Southern Seed Garlic, we feel our seed garlic is some of the best in the market. Our garlic is tested for southern-adaptability and is 100% non-GMO and naturally grown. Our bulbs are hand-inspected at every stage and only offered for sale if it has proven to be reliable and resilient in a variety of climates.

Ivan Hardneck
from $22.00
Ivan is a Canadian heirloom variety that is fast becoming popular in the USA
Ivan is true heirloom garlic. It was made known to the public in 2011 by Canadian Mr. McIlroy, who said it had been grown for generations by his family in Ontario. He received his original seed stock from his mother. He showed it to many garlic experts but no one has been able to identify his variety with any other. It is truly a unique garlic.
Believed to be a Porcelain garlic, Ivan has enough unique characteristics to make its classification uncertain. What is known for certain is that its robust growth pattern and fantastic flavor are winning friends wherever it goes. Our grower reports success as far south as Texas with this hardneck garlic! Ivan produces very large bulbs with white outer wrappers and delicately purple inner wrappers. It has performed well here in our test garden in central Arkansas, and is one our favorites for flavor as well. Ivan has a long storage life for a hardneck, making it an excellent choice for southern growers.
