This is a rare and difficult to acquire cultivar of the marbled purple stripe family. Originating from Estonia in the Baltic region. This variety is rapidly gaining favor in my eyes for its dependably huge bulbs; perhaps the largest I grow, and mild flavor. This is an excellent all purpose garlic. It also has very large cloves which is nice for peeling but it makes expanding your planting plot noticeably slower then other strains given the fewer cloves per bulb.
