New for 2023!
This is what the supplier of my foundational seed stock (who literally grows HUNDREDS of garlic varieties) has to say about it: "This is a very popular garlic grown throughout British Columbia. Cold hardy but does well in the moderate and wet climate of coastal Canada as well. Beautiful purple bulb wrappers. Clove wrappers are brown and purple. This strain produces large bulbs that are easy to peel and store very well. Our best producing marbled purple stripe garlic!"
Bulb Grading Notes...
The only difference between culinary and seed grade bulbs is size. Seed grade bulbs are 2 inches in diameter or over. Culinary bulbs are 1 1/2 inches or more but less than 2 inches. You can use either grade interchangeably, but if you are planting your garlic, then seed grade bulbs will give you a larger harvest. The smaller culinary bulbs can still be grown, but they may take two seasons to reach full potential. They do, however, tend to store longer and have better flavor than jumbo bulbs.
