About This Variety
Thai Purple is a Turban garlic variety with roots in Southeast Asian cuisine. Each bulb produces 6 to 8 compact, easy-to-peel cloves with striking amethyst-streaked papers and a bold, pungent heat that hits hardest when eaten raw. Early-maturing and weakly bolting — produces a scape but matures faster than true hardnecks.
Approximately 6 to 11 bulbs per pound. Plant in fall, 4 to 6 weeks before your ground freezes, and harvest the following early summer. Suitable for both seed planting and culinary use.
How We Grow
Why Seed Garlic From Basaltic Farms
Triple Certified Organic
Every bulb we sell is certified three ways: CCOF, USDA Organic, and the Real Organic Project. The paperwork is real and so is the practice behind it.
High Elevation, Volcanic Ground
Our fields sit at 3,300 feet in the Fall River Valley, on soil laid down by ancient basalt flows. Cold winters and mineral-rich ground suit garlic well.
Sorted by Bulb Size
We grade by bulb size, not clove count. The largest bulbs ship first, first come, first served, so early orders get the best seed.
Shipped for Fall Planting
Orders ship starting in September so your seed arrives cured, intact, and ready to go in the ground in October and November.
Before You Order
Plan Your Planting
Match varieties to your growing zone, figure out how many pounds your beds actually need, and check bulk pricing before you commit. A few minutes of planning saves a lot of guessing in October.
