Beautiful deep purple bulbs from the Czech collection of New York grower, Dr. Boris Andrst. An outstanding strain originally secured by fishermen trading green leafy vegetables with poor peasants who grew only root crops. Very large bulbs due to weak flower stalk at U.S. latitudes. 5 to 7 fat, dark brown cloves. Average 6 cloves per bulb with nice shape and size.
Raw garlic has initial taste that mellows to a pleasing garlicky finish.
Sorry Sold out for 2001 Plants upright and broader leafed than others. Large bulbil capsule and bulbils. Bulbs nicely colored and very firm. Cloves few, but large and fat, with blushed and lined skins that are thick. Raw tasted fiery but with a nice finish.
