Early-season, Artichoke type. Messidor is a productive softneck prized for its large, creamy white bulbs. A consistent, high-yielding variety, it can produce up to 10 pounds of garlic for every pound planted. Each bulb contains 10–13 plump cloves and features flexible necks for easy braiding and long, reliable storage. Its smooth, mellow flavor develops a gentle sweetness when roasted, adding subtle depth to all your favorite dishes. With good cold tolerance for a softneck and a long dormancy in storage, Messidor is a dependable choice for gardeners seeking size, yield, and excellent keeping quality. 

Garlic is shipped only in the fall—starting in mid-September, depending on the season and the variety. Quantities are limited; order early for best availability. Sorry, not available to Idaho, US Territories, or Canada.
