Purple Stripe, Marbled Purple Stripe & Glazed Purple Stripe Varieties

Purple Stripe Garlic - Chesnok Red
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. For more about this see the Garlic Family Tree. Both Marbled and Glazed have fewer, fatter cloves than garlics of the standard Purple Stripe variety. Marbled Purple Stripes have good potential for commercial garlics. Glazed Purple Stripes have delicate wrappers, requiring careful handling and timely harvesting.

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.
