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.

  • Growing climate: Cool season
  • Sowing difficulty level: Easy
  • Care required: Occasional
  • Growth: Slow growth

Note: This crop is adapted to regions with harsh winters and requires well-drained soil to prevent bulb rot.

Duganski garlic is used like any other cooking garlic: the cloves can be eaten raw, finely chopped in vinaigrettes, pestos, and sauces, or cooked to soften their flavor in stir-fries, soups, stews, and roasts. It is well-suited to being braided, dried, and stored in nets in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. In many culinary traditions, garlic serves as an essential aromatic base for enhancing dishes, fermenting condiments (lacto-fermented garlic, garlic pickles), or flavoring oils and butters.
