Thermidrôme garlic earliness, dormancy and yield
Thermidrôme is an early variety with medium dormancy and good productivity. It does not produce a flower stalk and is known to be easy to grow.
With no flower stalk, there is no need to cut it during the crop. The plant thus focuses its energy on swelling the bulb, which supports yield.
