Mid-season, Purple Stripe type. A superior all-around garlic and staff favorite, this variety has a delectable flavor with a mild spice. Persian Star lends itself to baking, roasting or enjoying raw. Uncover the sleek white outer wrappers to reveal beautiful lilac-streaked clove skins. Originally purchased at a bazaar in Uzbekistan.

very disappointed in this year's crop. Been ordering from this company for five years. This year was the worst moldy seeds. Nothing came up

Arrived fresh despite us ordering late. Will be a while until we know if we were too late on planting, but have always had good results in the past. Looking forward to harvesting later this year!

Persian Star Zone 9b
Planted Persian Star in middle of October for approximately a June harvest. The bulbs that were sent approximately 2-2.2oz each which waa better than some other places i had ordered from that were 1.7oz per bulb. The cloves that I didn't use for planting have been used in some pepper fermentation recipes and the results have been awesome (if you love garlic flavor). Can't wait to till June.
