Blue Sky Organics currently grows the following varieties of garlic:
Our varieties
Red Rocambole
A hard neck variety with generally small bulbs, few cloves and a strong flavour. Red Rocambole has a red/crimson skin colour on the cloves, and excellent storage.
Tasmanian Purple
A purple hard neck variety which has a strong but not overpowering flavour with large, easy to peel cloves. Typically this variety has approximately 8 - 10 cloves per bulb.
Silverskin
A white softneck variety with excellent storage. Bulbs are generally smaller, but it makes up for it in taste! A strong flavour however the cloves can be a little harder to peel.
White Crookneck
A large, white hard neck variety with generally large cloves and approximately 8 - 10 cloves per bulb. Crookneck has a strong flavour.
Elephant (Russian)
A heritage strain of Russian garlic, which has been growing on our property in Murrindal for 50 + years. A large white variety which is related more closely to a leek than garlic, with a mild flavour similar to an onion, and has a few large cloves per bulb.
Plaits
We also have plaits available in a variety of sizes. Plaits are the best way to store garlic, and look fantastic hanging in the kitchen. They also make great practical gifts.
