Sicilian is a mild and friendly variety added to dishes that just need a hint of garlic flavor. An heirloom from the island of Sicily. In my experience, this cultivar forms rock solid bulbs. They make my fingers more sore to pop apart at planting time than any other variety I have grown! It is however worth it because this trait seems to be why they store longer than any other variety I have; up to 10 months. This is a good variety for braiding.
