I received that last year from a fellow gardener at the community garden. They have been growing it for years, having originally received it from an old gardener. Where he got it from is a mystery. It could be an existing cultivar, but i have no way of knowing. I was just told by the gardener that had it that it was a great cultivar, produced nice large heads and very few cloves. I was happy with it - I plan to plant it again this fall.</p>
