likely a softneck garlic then. no idea how cold hardy
those might be planted in a pot, but you are far enough
south that perhaps they'll be ok.

Maybe. We grow garlic out here on commercial farms. And
a lot for seeds too. Trying to figure out what variety
they are is TOP SECRET. The only thing I can tell you
about them is that they are soft neck.

I have a feral bin just for such silliness. I planted
green onion onions stubs from the grocery store and
two years later they are still going at it! At
Songbird's direction, I even collected seeds to try
to grow them legitimately this years.

I have some garlic in the feral bin that is three
years old. What a mess. Looks like grass growing
at this point. Grass shoots that taste like garlic.
Hmmmm..... Maybe I pick those???

Commercial growers are not going to choose things
that are hard to grow.

So basically what Songbird said. Give it a try! Love
to hear back on the results.
