Red Russian Hardneck Garlic

We love Red Russian Garlic.  It is incredibly easy to grow, has beautiful curly scapes in the late spring and lasts well into the winter!

Fedco Bulbs (our original supplier years ago) says that Red Russian garlic was "said to have been brought to the Pacific Northwest by Russian immigrants in the early 1900s, and so named for its mottled burgundy skin. Forms a ring of 5–12 large plump cloves around a central stalk. Keeps well for over six months (at least). “Delicious garlic flavor with no bitter aftertaste,” says Russian Red grower and garlic aficionado M. Coffin".

Approx -3 bulbs per 1/4 lb. Some bulbs are smaller than 2" in diameter, bc the garlic variety is a smaller head, but with many more cloves than the bigger heads that we sell.

 Garlic is planted in the late fall, overwintered, and then harvested the following July.
