Eye-catching pink and mahogany striped cloves make this Northwest heirloom great for braiding. This hard-to-find garlic comes from San Juan island in Washington state and has medium to large bulbs with 15-24 rich, strongly flavored cloves each. Excellent for roasting or eating raw. Vigorous, easy to grow, stores well. Late-season harvest. Storage: 6-8 months.
Care: Plant 6-8″ apart, 1-2″ deep. Harvest when all but 3-4 leaves turn dry and brown (usually July). Hang to dry in cool, shady, ventilated area for 2 weeks, then store in a cool dark location.
