{"product_id":"organic-duganski-garlic","title":"Organic Duganski Garlic (lb)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic Duganski seed garlic\u003c\/strong\u003e is a standard Purple Stripe hardneck associated with garlic collected from a Samarkand, Uzbekistan, bazaar in 1989. Some sellers use the similar name Dunganski for a different Marbled Purple Stripe, so the distinction matters. This Duganski selection offers richly striped bulbs, easy-peel cloves, lively heat, and edible scapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMix \u0026amp; match savings.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e This item is eligible for the Garlic Mix \u0026amp; Match discount.

The red-violet cloves look striking when a bulb is opened, making this a natural choice for market tables, gifts, or a labeled tasting collection. Its curling scapes are delicious picked young, and its Central Asian collecting history gives gardeners a crop with a story worth passing along.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaw Duganski is assertive and spicy, making it useful in salsa, pesto, dressings, and ferments where garlic should remain noticeable. Heat softens with cooking and gives way to a full, lingering garlic flavor. Roast whole cloves, fold them into mashed vegetables, or use them in soups, beans, marinades, and braises. The colorful cloves are also attractive when separated for a market or pantry display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen growing Duganski, settle the cloves into a sunny fall bed where winter can provide the cold period this Purple Stripe prefers. Keep the shallow root zone evenly moist and lightly weeded once spring growth takes off. Snip the scapes while they are still curled for a tender early harvest. Around mid-summer, use the browning lower leaves as your cue to dig, then cure the vividly striped bulbs in shade before trimming them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVariety Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard Purple Stripe hardneck garlic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiery and assertive raw; full and savory when cooked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulbs \u0026amp; Cloves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Often several medium to large cloves; count varies by conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cream wrappers marked with vivid purple striping and colorful cloves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate Harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-summer; timing varies by climate and planting date\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZones \u0026amp; Climate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zones 3–10; winter chill supports hardneck development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cure thoroughly and keep cool, dry, and ventilated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSomething Special:\u003c\/strong\u003e A 1989 Samarkand-bazaar accession with classic Purple Stripe beauty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompare Garlic Varieties\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor planting and variety guidance, visit the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/pages\/garlic-resource-center\"\u003eGarlic Resource Center\u003c\/a\u003e, use the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/pages\/garlic-selector\"\u003eGarlic Selector\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/collections\/seed-garlic-and-shallots\"\u003eSeed Garlic \u0026amp; Shallots\u003c\/a\u003e.
