Bavarian Purple Garlic Hardneck 5 Pounds. Bavarian Purple is a Rocambole Garlic. This is a Hardneck variety. It grows in the cold and is generally planted in Fall. The flavor of this variety is full. This is not the Chinese garlic that you may purchase at the grocery store. That garlic is plain tasting. Get the real deal. I plant this garlic and raise it in an organic style. Thanks For Looking,Tim
