🧄 PRESALE – Vietnamese Purple Garlic & Elephant Garlic | Ships September 2026 | Grow Your Own Gourmet Garlic

Allium sativum / Allium ampeloprasum

⚠️ THIS IS A PRE-SALE — ORDERS SHIP IN EARLY SEPTEMBER 2026 ⚠️

This is a pre-order to reserve your seed garlic. Orders ship in September. This pre-sale runs through July 10, 2026. All orders are collected during this window and shipped together in September, timed perfectly for fall planting.

Orders are placed on HOLD until closer to September, when my team and I start prepping the packages. If you also order additional items like other seeds and plants - it will ship together with your seed garlic. We first print the shipping labels which generates a tracking number. The tracking will say "package not received" until we ship and hand it over to USPS or UPS. Then the tracking will show updates. 

Because seed garlic is reserved in exact quantities for each order, orders cannot be canceled, returned, or refunded. Please read the full listing before ordering. Questions? Email info@jerrasgarden.com

⚠️ IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING ⚠️

🧄 How the Pre-Sale Works

  1. Place your order June 10 – July 10 to reserve your seed garlic.
  2. Closer to September, my team and I start printing all the labels which generates a tracking number, which will show no movement until September.
  3. The orders ship in September and the tracking number will show updates. 
  4. Your seed garlic arrives in September — right on time to plant or begin vernalization if needed.

🧄 When Should You Plant Your Garlic - Timeline by Climate

❄️ Cold Climate Gardeners (areas with snow and freezes during the winter) Plant your seed garlic 4–6 weeks before your first winter frost date. No vernalization needed. Watch my full planting guide on YouTube HERE.

☀️ Hot Climate Gardeners (mild winters, no snow areas) You must vernalize your garlic to grow full, well-developed bulbs. Refrigerate your seed garlic as soon as it arrives and keep it refrigerated all the way until planting day. Plant in November or December. Watch my full planting guide on YouTube HERE.

🧄 Choose Your Variety

Use the drop-down menu to select your variety or bundle.

Vietnamese Purple (Deerfield Purple): A rare and stunning hardneck variety with impressively large, flavorful bulbs and beautiful purple-streaked wrappers. Rich, bold, and complex flavor that garlic lovers will appreciate. While conventional wisdom says hardneck garlic doesn't perform well in warm southern climates, I grow Vietnamese Purple right here in Florida and get big, gorgeous bulbs every season. If you've been told you can't grow hardneck in the South — this variety is proof that you can.

Elephant Garlic: Technically more closely related to leeks than true garlic, Elephant Garlic produces oversized bulbs with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Perfect for roasting whole, slicing fresh, or anywhere you want garlic presence without the intensity. A crowd favorite and an absolute showstopper in the garden. If you've struggled with hardneck or softneck varieties, Elephant Garlic is an easier, more forgiving option.

🧄 How Much Should You Order?

Option Vietnamese Purple Elephant Garlic
½ lb ~15–20 cloves ~4–6 cloves
1 lb ~30–40 cloves ~8–12 cloves

 

Garlic Sampler Bundle (½ lb of each) — 10% off! Great for trying both varieties side by side.

Garlic Grower's Bundle (1 lb of each) — 10% off! Best value for the serious home gardener who wants a bigger harvest.

📏 Spacing note: Cloves are planted 6 inches apart. A 1 lb bag of Vietnamese Purple (~30–40 cloves) plants a bed about 15–20 feet long. Elephant Garlic cloves are much larger, so a pound plants a shorter but equally impressive bed.

🧄 What You'll Receive

Premium seed garlic shipped as whole bulbs, ready to break into individual cloves at planting time. Shipped without soil, with healthy, viable, certified disease-free cloves.

🧄 How to Plant

Please watch my YouTube video guide on step-by-step directions on what to do when your seed garlic arrives, how to vernalize if needed, how to seperate the cloves before planting. how to do a pathogen pre-soak and a butrient pre-soak to give your garlic the best chance at growing large bulbs, how to prepare the planting area, and much more.

⏳ Harvest

Garlic is typically ready in late spring to early summer, when the lower leaves begin to brown — usually when about half the leaves have dried out. Cure bulbs in a warm, dry, well-ventilated spot for 3–4 weeks before storing. Properly cured garlic stores for several months. Save your largest, healthiest bulbs to replant next season!

🚚 Shipping

Orders ship in early September via USPS or UPS — whichever gets your seed garlic to you fastest.

Shipping Information

SEEDS

  • Seeds can be shipped to states within the USA. No shipping to outside of the USA is available.
  • Orders ship within 1-3 business days, not including weekends, holidays, or delays caused by natural disasters.
  • If my local USPS/UPS office is closed, for example due to inclement weather like a hurricane or snow storm, then I resume shipping the very first day they re-open.
  • I am not open to the public so shipping is the only option.
  • Seeds are shipped in bubble mailers to ensure that they are not pushed through roller machines which can crush the seeds. For this reason, I do not ship in a plain envelope.
  • Seeds will be shipped with no planting instructions to keep seed costs low to the buyer. Germination and plant care information is included in the description. I encourage each gardener to research specifics on how to be successful growing them. I also have lots of information on my TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channel all under the account name jerrasgarden. I started this shop to share my love of certain seed varieties and spread the knowledge of gardening. Please contact me if you can't find information or have additional questions.

PLANTS & RHIZOMES

  • I can only ship live plant products within the USA.
  • I only use USPS Priority or UPS shipping if an order contains live plant products. This is to ensure they are not in transit for a long period of time.
  • Orders with plants will ship the following Monday after the order was placed.  This is to ensure live plant products have the longest stretch of week days while in transit, and don't get stuck in the post office over a weekend or holiday. If Monday is a holiday, then we cannot ship, and orders are held to ship the next Monday.
  • If there is inclement weather, such as snow storms or hurricanes impacting shipping routes, I will hold from shipping orders until routes have cleared. I am located in Florida and frequently get impacted by hurricanes during hurricane season. I resume shipping as soon as my local post office opens back up or the inclement weather has passed. 

DELIVERED BUT NOT FOUND

  • If there is an issue with your delivery, like tracking says "delivered" but you cannot find your package, contact your local USPS office immediately as they should be able to help you locate the package. Or wait a few days, as customers have reported back to me that the package shows up a few days later even though it says "delivered". I am not responsible for packages that are lost or stolen.
  • If it has been a full 7 days after tracking says delivered, and the pakage still has not shown up or arrived, please email me at info@jerrasgarden.com so I can engage the help of USPS/UPS with locating the package. Do not wait more than 14 days after delivery to let me know because then USPS/UPS cannot really help. If the lost package is reported to me beyond 14 days after delivery - I cannot help and I will not ship a replacement. 

Refunds & Exchanges

Refund & Return Policy
All sales are final once an order has shipped. Due to the nature of live plants and seeds, we do not accept returns or offer refunds once items have shipped, except in the limited circumstances outlined below.
Seeds: Since there are many factors beyond our control that affect germination and growing success—including climate, soil conditions, watering, and care—no refunds or exchanges are offered on seeds once they have shipped. All seeds sold are fresh, viable, and the same seeds we use in our own personal garden.
Live Plants: Live plants are non-refundable and non-replaceable. Orders containing live plants are typically shipped the following Monday or Tuesday after the order is placed, and we are unable to hold plant orders for shipment at a later date.
Cold Temperatures: If you are located in a cold climate, please be aware that during the winter months we are not responsible for cold damage during transit or delays caused by winter storms or severe weather. To help reduce the risk of cold damage, we recommend placing plant orders during times of the year when temperatures in your area are warm enough for safe shipping.
Many of our customers are located in warm or tropical climates, where we are able to ship plants year-round. Because we ship a high volume of orders, we do not have the ability to filter or hold orders based on the destination’s weather conditions or climate. For this reason, it is the customer’s responsibility to consider their local weather and growing conditions before placing an order for live plants.
USDA Garden Zones: Customers are responsible for selecting plants that are suitable for their growing conditions. Each plant listing includes information about the recommended growing conditions and USDA garden zones, and we cannot guarantee success if plants are purchased for areas outside of their recommended zones.
We gladly offer a replacement if a plant arrives dead upon delivery.

To be eligible for a replacement:

  • You must contact us within 24 hours of delivery
  • Email info@jerrasgarden.com
  • Include clear photos of all plants in the order, including packaging if possible

Reports made after 24 hours of delivery will not be eligible for a refund or replacement. We are unable to replace or refund plants reported outside of this timeframe, as plant health after delivery is influenced by factors out of our control such as handling, environmental conditions, and care once received.

Shipping Issues

We are not responsible for lost, delayed, or damaged packages caused by USPS or UPS once the package is in the carrier’s possession. Shipping carriers are responsible for transit-related issues.

DELIVERED BUT NOT FOUND

  • If there is an issue with your delivery, like tracking says "delivered" but you cannot find your package, contact your local USPS office immediately as they should be able to help you locate the package. Or wait a few days, as customers have reported back to me that the package shows up a few days later even though it says "delivered". I am not responsible for packages that are lost or stolen.

By placing an order, you agree to this refund and replacement policy.
