German Extra Hardy originated from, you've guessed it, Germany! Once it made its way onto our shores, German Hardy quickly became a must-grow variety all over the United States. Just because this variety grows in most climates doesn't mean that it is not best suited for selective environmental conditions. As the most in-demand hardneck heirloom variety, it is best grown in the Northern States. German Extra Hardy will really show its size after going through harsher winter conditions. Each bulb produces 4-6 large purple striped cloves, wrapped in bright ivory paper, that are very easy to peel!
