If it's your Spanish Roja that you're wondering about, it should last well past fall planting time. Mine from last summer's harvest was still in good shape this spring. I finally planted most of the leftover cloves in early May to grow into rounds (single bulbs that won't divide into cloves) over the summer and be replanted this fall. I never tried that before, we'll see how it goes. The Music and German White didn't store as well, the tops of the cloves started to shrivel over the winter. I don't know if I will keep growing them as they aren't as productive as the Spanish Roja either.
