Brown Vesper (Glazed Purple Stripe) Seed Bulb

NEW BREED – GLAZED PURPLE STRIPE   Brown Vesper is new to our collection of Glazed Purple Stripes and is notable for its use in many of the global breeding programs. Fiery hot, sharp, long flavours … very nice. Lovely strong plant and bulb and great to add to the mid-season harvesting for those areas with cold winters, but faster Springs needing to harvest garlic before the higher temperatures late in Spring and early Summer.
