It was originally sourced by John Swenson at a bazaar in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's flavor is more mild than Chesnok Red to which it is closely related. Flavor is full without a heat to its spiciness and lends itself well to baking and roasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing a purple stripe type it is a hardneck with a single circle of cloves around a central woody stem. It produces scapes in late spring that we typically will snap off and are delicious roasted on the grill basted in olive oil. Leaving the scapes on may extend shelf storage life at the expense of bulb size. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage is reasonably good and lasts until February or so in our experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSORRY BUT NO INTERNATIONAL ORDERS ON GARLIC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e* Free Shipping does not apply to Garlic Orders *\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemember to check out our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.siskiyouseeds.com\/blogs\/news\/garlic-planting-tips\"\u003eGarlic Growing tips\u003c\/a\u003e in order to make the most of your growing opportunity:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Garlic Growing Tips\" href=\"https:\/\/www.siskiyouseeds.com\/blogs\/news\/garlic-planting-tips\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.siskiyouseeds.com\/blogs\/news\/garlic-planting-tips\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"L \u0026 R Family Farm","offers":[{"title":"half-pound","offer_id":8371353321517,"sku":"GPS11","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"pound","offer_id":8372137099309,"sku":"GPS12","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 pounds","offer_id":8372137132077,"sku":"GPS13","price":85.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/8052\/products\/Persian_Star.jpg?v=1569472551","url":"https:\/\/www.siskiyouseeds.com\/products\/garlic-persian-star","provider":"Siskiyou Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
