Due to an almost complete crop failure (reason unknown) I only have a small quantity of culinary bulbs available for this variety. It is being discontinued, and I will no longer be selling it after the 2025 season.
Bulbs are attractively striped, and it matures quite early. Averages 4-6 cloves/bulb.
Like my other turban variety Xian, this also matured n May, almost immediately after it softly scapes (and then falls over). I found out that this is typical of turbans. So if you want to spread out your harvest, add a turban to what you grow. I like this variety so much that I invested in more stock for 2021 and it paid off!
This is a nice, firm garlic with a little hot & spicy kick to it. Its wrappers are very tight, and it stores well. This season it was nicely purple striped on the outer wrappers. To keep the beautiful purple appearance clear your bulbs prior to curing them; if you cure them first, when you clean them the outer purple layers will peal off.
Quantities listed are for bulbs over 1.75" If you want smaller bulbs, they are listed as culinary bulbs and will measure less than 1.75" across.
