Turbans
Turban is the earliest maturing garlic and popular for this reason. It is a good choice for those who want to spread out their harvest and enjoy some fresh garlic before the rest of the varieties are ready. It is a weakly bolting garlic. Its name comes from the shape of the umbel (the flower/seed pod on the scape). It looks like a turban, squat and hat-like. The bulbs are distinctly short and flattened, but are beautiful with bright purple stripes. They can attain a large size even though the plants are small. The heavily striped bulbs are very attractive and are ideal for early season marketing before other garlics appear. Cloves are normally plump, with light, glossy pink to brown color. They average 6 large cloves per bulb. They do not store as long (4-5 months) as Asiatics and are quite quick to sprout.
Shantung Purple - Its bulbs are beautiful with 6-8 large cloves with cream-coloured skin and reddish-beige flushes. It has a fiery hot flavor when raw, even more so than other turbans. Early harvest.
