Plants depicted in photos are at maturity. We sell starter perennials shipped bare root, as plugs (young plants) or bulbs. Plugs are shipped trimmed to reduce stress during travel.
Mennonite is a lesser-known but highly regarded hardneck garlic in the Purple Stripe subgroup—similar in style to Duganski but with its own distinct personality.
Clove count: 9–14 medium-sized, crescent-shaped cloves in a single layer.
Flavor: Hot and sharp when raw (true Purple Stripe heat), with a clean, bright garlic punch. Cooks to a nutty, full-bodied taste without bitterness.
Scape: Produces long, looping scapes—excellent for grilling or pesto.
Skin: Classic Purple Stripe look: glossy deep purple streaks on creamy white wrappers. Often more vividly striped than Duganski.
Storage: Solid for a hardneck—6–8 months in cool, dry storage.
Bulb size: Medium (1.5–2.25 inches); rarely gets huge but very consistent.

HOW it all works at Hosta king
Details about your order
Starter Perennials Shipped Trimmed
We sell starter perennials shipped bare root, as small plugs or bulbs. We do not ship in containers and we will often trim back growth on our perennial plugs to reduce stress on the plants during travel. Trimming does not hurt the plants. They'll bounce back with new growth. You'll receive your plants carefully wrapped and prepared for shipping in a box.
Plant Sizes
Starter perennials are smaller because they are young. Bare roots and bulbs speak for themselves. We have plug sizes ranging from 1-2 inches x 2-4 inches. These are not yet plants at maturity as seen in many of the photos on our store. We have photos of real starter plants on some listings and we are working to post more starter photos this year in 2026. We're adding plug sizes to the plant pages, too. Bear with us as we update all our plant detail pages so you are better informed. In the meantime, if you need more details or a photo of an actual starter, send us a message in our chat.
Delivery
Your order should arrive within 7-14 days. Occasionally, we may hold an order so that we can fulfill it with new inventory we are expecting to receive. Just send us a chat if you need a status update.
Store Credit for Replacements
Unfortunately, we do not do returns, refunds or offer warranties. It's hard to guarantee plant life indefinitely as there are so many variables outside our control once the plants leave our shop. However, we understand there will be times when our plants just don't do very well on the trip from our shop to your location. If there are any issues with plants when you receive them, send us a chat message from our website. We can issue store credits covering the cost of replacements.
Just keep in the mind these are starter plants, so they're small. We do not sell and ship mature plants in containers. See the details under our Starter Perennials Shipped Trimmed section, if you haven't already. Questions? Hit us up in the chat.
