Planting Garlic Messidrome (softneck) – 3 bulbs

Messidrome is a reliable softneck garlic that produces large, uniform bulbs with a mild, aromatic flavor. This productive variety is easy to grow, has a long shelf life, and is therefore an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. Plant the cloves in autumn in a sunny spot in well-draining soil. During the winter, they develop a strong root system, after which they grow vigorously in the spring. In the summer, you will harvest beautiful, firm garlic bulbs that store exceptionally well. Ideal for those who want to enjoy home-grown garlic all year round.

Softneck garlic is known for its excellent shelf life (up to 10–12 months!). The bulbs have a mild, accessible flavor and stay firm for a long time.
