EnglishWhat Garlic Bulb Varieties Does Botanical Interests Sell?
Updated
Botanical Interests sells 14 hand-harvested organic garlic varieties, split between hardneck and softneck types. Most listings on the site carry USDA Certified Organic status, and the collection includes a cold-climate bundle for Zones 1–5. If you're choosing by climate, flavor, or storage life, the hardneck/softneck distinction is the main decision point.
Hardneck vs. softneck: what the site offers
The page groups garlic into two categories, and the variety names signal which is which.
Hardneck varieties listed:
- Montana Zemo Hardneck Garlic — USDA Certified Organic — $8.95
- Chesnok Red Hardneck Garlic — USDA Certified Organic — $6.95
- German White Stiffneck Hardneck Garlic — USDA Certified Organic — $7.95
- Majestic Hardneck Garlic — USDA Certified Organic — $8.95
- Romanian Red Hardneck Garlic — USDA Certified Organic — $8.95
Softneck varieties listed:
- Silver White Softneck Garlic — USDA Certified Organic — $6.95
- Sicilian Artichoke Softneck Garlic — USDA Certified Organic — $6.95
- Inchelium Red Softneck Garlic — USDA Certified Organic — $6.95
Bundle:
- Cold Climate Garlic Bundle (Zones 1–5) — $23.50
Hardnecks generally produce a central scape and are often chosen for colder growing regions and stronger flavor; softnecks typically store longer and are the type usually braided. The site itself does not spell out these growing differences on the page, so treat that as general gardening background rather than a claim from the listing.

How to decide
- Cold climate (Zones 1–5): the Cold Climate Garlic Bundle is the only listing explicitly framed around cold hardiness.
- Storage life: softnecks (Silver White, Sicilian Artichoke, Inchelium Red) are the conventional choice for longer keeping.
- Flavor and scapes: hardnecks are the group to look at if you want the scape-producing types.
- Budget: softnecks sit at the lower $6.95 price point; several hardnecks run $7.95–$8.95.
