The "White Bear" garlic variety is a perennial plant with a stem height of about 30-45 cm. In spring, it forms oval edible leaves with a distinct garlic aroma and white flowers collected in umbel-shaped inflorescences. Leaves are a rich source of micro- and macro-elements. In summer, leaves wither, and bulbs remain in the soil, which can be used similarly to regular garlic. The plant prefers slightly acidic soil and semi-shaded locations, does not tolerate drought.
The variety is characterized by an ultra-early maturity period; planting is carried out from September to November, and harvest begins in the second half of May and continues until June. Bulbs have white scales, size of about 50-60 mm, head is round-flat, weighing 40-45 g, contains from 8 to 18 cloves, each weighing 6-8 g. The garlic flavor is semi-sharp, making it versatile for culinary use.
"White Bear" is characterized by high yield — up to 1.6 kg per square meter, resistance to diseases, and lack of bolting. Leaves have a medium waxy coating, length of 40-45 cm, and width of 1.5-1.7 cm. Thanks to its market qualities and early maturation, this variety is popular among gardeners and farmers.
