Russian Red is a very flavorful, Rocambole-type hardneck garlic with marbled purple stripes and large bulbs that produce 5-6 cloves. Spicy flavor when eaten raw, strong garlic flavor that finishes sweet, when cooked. Well adapted to cold climates, and survives damp winter soil conditions at a higher productivity rate than many other varieties. Stores well over six months post-harvest.

Our seed garlic was grown with organic practices by Vivian Huggins in Ohio.

Growth habit: Plants grow upward slowly through winter and its papery leaves get tall in spring. Hardneck varieties produce scapes that have seedheads attached to stalks that emerge through leaves. Hardneck garlic has stiff main stalks while the main stalk of softneck garlic is soft and "dies off" when the bulbs are ready to harvest.
Allium sativum
Growing tips: In most hardiness zones, plant in October-November for best results. Don't separate the cloves before it is time to plant them. Preferably, soak the cloves in water with dissolved kelp meal in it. Plant in Nitrogen and Potassium rich beds. Unless your climate is very harsh in winter, we recommend you to not mulch your beds since mulching may sometimes promote rotting and other diseases. Southernmost growers need to vernalize bulbs in paper bags with airholes in them in fridge for 8-9 weeks prior to planting in fall. 3-4 days after the hardneck varieties form scapes, cut them to eat and to encourage larger bulbs.
