Bavarian Purple

A rich, musky Rocambole hardneck garlic.

Harvests early in summer - stores into mid-winter

A delicious Rocambole that stores longer than most Rockies.

Bavarian Pruple is an early harvesting, richly flavored mildly pungent garlic that grows well in cold winter areas. In addition to being early harvesting, it is very easy peeling and stores long enough to be planted in the fall but not much longer. Grows consistently large bulbs with large cloves.

Bavarian ranks 7 to 9 on the garlickiness scale and 2 to 4 on the pungency side. Good flavorful Rocky that won't bite you back - excellent for raw eating. It has a very rich, musky, earthy flavor with a healthy bite, if what I taste tested last year was its normal taste.
