Bogatyr Marbled Purple Stripe was originally picked for seed stock at a market in Moscow, Russia. It tastes mild at first but then bites with a bit of heat at the finish. Bogatyr yields smaller bulbs, but has only 5-6 cloves in most heads, so the dark brown-purple cloves are large. 

Purple Stripe garlics are hardnecks (which means great flavor!) and they're also beautiful.
