Persian Star Garlic

This garlic is Purple Stripe type.

You might be wondering where the purple color is on this purple stripe garlic, me too! This is a very bizzare garlic. This is my second year growing it, and last year it had very nice purple stripes on the skin. I’m pretty sure the cloves also had a bit of color. This year it’s bone white.

I would think I was going crazy, but fortunately I have proof to the contrary. Last year I gave Rebsie from the Daughter of the soil a bulb, and she noticed the same thing! Last year it had purple stripes, and this year it’s bone white.

In spite of it’s changing colors, this is a nice garlic that grows well and has a nice taste. That is if the taste isn’t changing too.
