Garlic Vayo - The Accidental Smallholder

Vayo is a first-rate virus-free variety of garlic, producing a bountiful harvest of large, very attractive violet-glazed/streaked bulbs with a superb flavour.

Hardneck type producing around 12-13 cloves per bulb. Hardneck types are closest to wild garlic and naturally form a seed stalk which gives this type its name. This stalk or scape is delicious used in stir fries and sauces! Hardneck varieties are very hardy, so will thrive throughout the UK, and are ideal for more northern areas.

Hardneck types form larger cloves than softnecks, but do not keep as long. See our Garlic Growing guide for cultivation advice.
