Inchelium Red is a nationally recognized softneck artichoke garlic celebrated for its smooth, balanced flavor and outstanding versatility in the kitchen. Discovered on the Colville Indian Reservation in northern Washington, this mid-season variety is a National Softneck Taste-Test Winner. Its large 3-inch bulbs produce abundant cloves wrapped in tight, coarse tunics that allow for excellent storage of 6–9 months. Mild at harvest with just a touch of spice, Inchelium Red gradually develops deeper flavor in storage, making it ideal for baking, roasting, mashed potatoes, and all-purpose cooking where a softer garlic presence is preferred. Adaptable to both northern and southern climates and tolerant of summer heat, this fall-planted variety grows reliably across regions. With its attractive bulbs perfect for braiding and dependable performance in the field and kitchen, Inchelium Red is one of the finest softneck garlics available.
