Tirnak (TGS- Std Purple Stripe+SPS) Seed Bulb

Tirnak is another beautiful True Garlic Seed cross between a Vietnamese Std Purple Stripe and Russian Standard Purple Stripe, integrating the searing heat of the Vietnamese and the lovely sweet & gently spicy nature of the Russian.  I love this flavour combination and for those who enjoy a lively heat and flavour – so will you. Bulbs are large and increasing in size each season – so bigger bulbs to come.  Hot, sweet, spicy flavours raw, settling a little when cooked.
