Nootka Rose is a premier heirloom softneck Silverskin garlic from Waldron Island in Washington’s San Juan Islands, celebrated for its strong, spicy flavor and exceptional long-term storage. This medium-sized variety produces silky pearl-white bulbs with beautiful rose-streaked cloves, making it one of the best garlics for braiding and an attractive addition to any kitchen. Known as one of the longest-storing garlics—maintaining quality for 9–12 months—Nootka Rose delivers excellent clove productivity and consistently large outer cloves ideal for replanting. Late-maturing and widely adaptable, it performs reliably in both northern and southern climates, tolerates summer heat, and produces dependable yields year after year. With its bold, zesty heat and versatility in baking, roasting, and everyday cooking, Nootka Rose is an outstanding all-around garlic for growers and home chefs alike.
