| 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. |
