Ozark Massachusetts which is a long oneI bought Ozark from fellow growers at Bennington Garlic Festival, and they hoped I would continue the variety as they were not sure how long they could continue it commercially. It is not winning size contests but in a cold winter that killed 40% of my softnecks, Ozark survived at 90% plus. All the "lilly liver" has been bred out of it! Even as an Artichoke, it has a large number of weakly bolting plants each year going partially hardneck. Very common
