| Purple Stripe garlic - Chesnok Red |
Purple Stripes have beautiful, elegant bulbs with vividly coloured wrappers
and tall, slender cloves. Chesnok Red and Persian Star are classic
examples of the Purple Stripe variety. They have 8 to 12 cloves
per bulb, are easy to grow, and keep well. If the scape is left
on the plant it produces bulbils that are intermediate in number
to the Rocamboles and Porcelains and are a mixture of large and
small bulbils.
Marbled Purple Stripe and Glazed Purple Stripe have recently
been reclassified from sub-varieties of Purple Stripe into varieties
in their own right. They have fewer, fatter cloves than garlics
of the classic Purple Stripe variety. For more about this see
the Garlic Family Tree.

Note on Flavours
Please take our comments on flavour with a generous pinch of salt. The apparent strength and flavour of a strain of garlic is an individual perception. Different people under the same circumstances can have diametrically opposed views on the palatability and heat of a strain of garlic. | |
