GARLIC 'Early Italian Purple' --Allium sativum--

White bulbs are liberally blotched and striped in purple, and they can get quite large. Well-grown bulbs typically contain 15-20 medium-sized, mild-flavored cloves, which are wrapped in purple-striped skins. This early soft-neck or artichoke type is famously associated with the Gilroy Garlic Festival as this is the variety traditionally grown on farms surrounding the “Garlic Capital of the World.”
