Organic Early Purple Italian Garlic (lb)

Creamy bulbs streaked with purple give Organic Early Purple Italian plenty of garden-to-kitchen charm. This softneck finishes early, offers a useful mix of clove sizes and keeps its stems flexible enough for a colorful braid.

Its balanced medium flavor is delicious raw in bruschetta, vinaigrette and pesto, yet mellow enough for roasting, soups and sauces. It is an easy all-purpose choice when you want one garlic to move happily between fresh and cooked dishes.

Plant in fall in a sunny bed with open, well-drained soil. Begin checking bulbs in early summer as the foliage yellows, then cure them out of direct sun.
