I grew Spanish Roja this year, which I got from Filaree Farms. And according to their home page:

Hardneck garlics send up a flower stalk in early June in northern climates and as early as March or April in warm climates. Before the stalk begins to turn woody, starts to uncoil, and begins to stand up straight, the stalk should be cut off 1/2 inch above the top plant leaf. This redirects the energy downward into the bulb.

But I usually trimmed the scapes off before they ever had a chance to curl very much.
