Characteristics: A hardy hardneck garlic variety prized for its large bulbs, purple-striped wrappers, and rich, spicy flavour that mellows when cooked.

Maintenance Requirements: Low; plant cloves in fertile, well-drained soil during autumn and mulch after planting to protect bulbs over winter. Water regularly during active growth while avoiding waterlogged soil, remove flower scapes for larger bulb production or leave them for ornamental value, and harvest when the lower leaves begin to brown. Cure bulbs in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area before storage.
