Germination Temperature:
Garlic shoots exhibit resilience, withstanding air temperatures as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit without harm.

Therefore, it's advisable to maintain a protective layer of mulch until temperatures consistently rise to more favorable levels.

Roast whole bulbs to unlock a mellow sweetness, perfect for spreading on bread or incorporating into dips and sauces. Add chopped Duganski garlic to stir-fries and pasta dishes for a bold kick, remembering to add it near the end to avoid burning. Its robust flavor also shines in long-simmered soups and stews.
