Persian star Garlic Seeds

Persian Star Purple Stripe has easy to Peel medium-large sized Cloves that are mild flavored but with a spicy zing taste, it is very sweet when it’s roasted or sautéed, Persian Star Garlic Seeds have a long storing life and produces about 9-10 Cloves Per Bulb, and Approx 70-80 Cloves per pound.

This variety is a hardneck which means it will grow a garlic scape which is the flower of the garlic plant.  The scape should be snapped off once the stem starts to curl to send the energy to the bulb rather than the flower.  Garlic scapes are very tasty and can be used in stir-fry or however you use garlic currently.

This tall, dark and green plant is easy to grow and is resistant to a wide variety of diseases that usually infect garlic.  It is well suited for growing in almost all states, however, its growth may be marginal in southern states with hot early summers.
