Regular price $1.50 Sale

Persian Star (Allium ophioscorodon) - A favourite from our garlic family. Similar growth habit to Chesnok but with strikingly purple mottled streaks on outer wrappers and larger bulbs. One of the last to harvest from our annual garlic fleet, but definitely rewarding with its sweet but mildly spicy flavour, accompanied by a strong garlicky aroma. 8-12 cloves per bulb.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our garlic is grown under organic production principles from planting until harvest. All plants, cloves and bulbs are carefully inspected to ensure the highest of quality seed stock. 

Shipping your garlic: The garlic you ordered has been cured and inspected, packaged in paper to allow breathing room. When your garlic arrives we suggest you take it out of the paper bags and give it some room allowing more curing time before you store it for pre-planting in the fall. 

Storing your garlic before planting: Keep your bulbs out of direct sunlight, 10-15 degrees and below 60% Relative humidity with good air circulation. Avoid storing in a place with high temperature or humidity fluctuations. Storage mold may form on garlic that sits on a warm kitchen counter day after day, or a non insulated garage with high overnight humidity.
