Russian Red Garlic


(Allium sativum) Our best storing garlic. A hardy stiffneck garlic like German Extra-Hardy, but with a smaller bulb, purple striped wrapper, and a slightly stronger flavor. The plant is shorter and the winter hardiness is similar. The somewhat smaller main cloves, 6-9 cloves per head, (a pound of sets plants more - see Seed Specs) and larger topset cloves differentiate Rocambole from the Porcelain Continental type. Due to a supply shortage, orders are limited to 6 heads per order. Organically grown.
