Duganski garlic is an old variety of autumn garlic with purplish skin, prized for its hardiness and ability to withstand cold winters. Like all cultivated garlic, it descends from Allium sativum , which has long been used in traditional methods of preserving and growing vegetables in kitchen gardens.

In the garden, Duganski produces brightly colored heads, enveloped in white and purple husks. Planted in the autumn in welcoming, well-drained soil, it remains dormant throughout the cold season before emerging in spring with upright leaves. Its regular presence throughout the seasons makes it a reliable plant in a harmonious garden, easy to integrate into a respectful and diverse gardening approach.
