About Glazed Purple Stripes…
If you want the prettiest garlic at the County Fair then you’ll need to grow a Glazed Purple Stripe. With beautiful wrappers streaked in a shiny purple and silver sheen they are simply gorgeous. Wrappers are thin and wispy so it’s important to harvest these varieties a little earlier than you normally would to help improve storage quality. These varieties have a tendency to “blow their wrappers” if you leave to normal optimum harvest so dig early. Glazed Purple Stripe typically come in early every year so its good to keep an eye on these varieties as a gage for your traditional Purple Stripes. Blanak is this growers ALL TIME favorite of all...
