Transylvanian is an early-season softneck Artichoke garlic prized for its smooth, buttery flavor layered with gentle spice. Originating from a small village in the heart of the Transylvanian Mountains and later discovered in a Romanian farmers market in the mid-1990s, this variety combines rich taste with exceptional field performance. Its very high-yielding plants are among the cold-hardiest softnecks, producing large bulbs wrapped in silky skins accented with purple and red streaks and spots. Averaging around 10 cloves per bulb, Transylvanian stores extremely well thanks to its tight, coarse tunics, maintaining quality long after harvest. Reliable, productive, and full of refined flavor, it’s an outstanding choice for growers seeking both beauty and performance.
