Garlic Type Hardneck (e.g. Persian Star, German Red, Chesnok Red) — ~50 cloves/lb Softneck (e.g. Inchelium Red, Messidor) — ~62 cloves/lb Not Sure — show both estimates

📌 Note on large hardneck varieties: Some hardneck varieties — such as Music — produce very large bulbs with only 4–5 cloves per bulb and as few as 4 bulbs per pound. This means you may get as few as 16–20 cloves per pound rather than the typical 50. If you're planting Music or another jumbo hardneck, we recommend ordering 20–30% more than this calculator suggests to be safe.
