Russian Red Garlic (lb)
Strong Garlic Flavor with a Warm Sweet Aftertaste
Russian Red Garlic is Rocambole hardneck seed garlic valued for spicy flavor; easy-to-peel cloves; approachable garden performance. Russian Red Garlic is a striking Rocambole hardneck with purple-streaked bulb wrappers, large cloves, and the bold presence garlic enthusiasts look for. Bulbs typically form 6–8 substantial cloves arranged around a central stalk, making them easier to peel than many smaller-cloved varieties.
Mix and match and save automatically: combine eligible seed garlic and shallots to get 10% off 3 or more pounds, 15% off 10 or more pounds, or 20% off 30 or more pounds. The discount appears automatically in your cart. Shop all eligible varieties.
As a hardneck, it generally performs best where winter provides dependable cold, produces edible scapes, and develops the larger cloves and complex flavor many cooks prefer. Choose it for its particular balance of flavor, storage, clove characteristics, and regional adaptation.
Plant individual cloves in fall in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Harvest timing and bulb size vary with climate and seasonal care; use the Garlic Selector Tool to compare planting stock for your region.

Limited Seed Garlic Guarantee (When Planted by November 15th)
Claim Deadline is 45 Days from Purchase or Delivery. (Claims placed after December 31st will be denied.)
What We Guarantee
Our only guarantee is that the seed garlic we sell will germinate, provided you follow the steps listed in our Garlic Planting & Growing Guide. This guarantee is only available to customers who purchase their seed garlic directly from us.
What We Cannot Guarantee
We cannot guarantee that your garlic will remain alive & healthy, or sizes up properly, as there are too many variables beyond our control to be able to do so (i.e. soil preparation, fertilization, weed and pest control, temperature control, irrigation, etc).
How to Request a Credit
If you encounter a significant lack of germination of your garlic (over 50%), please contact us within 45 days of delivery. If we determine that your garlic had a significant lack of germination, we will issue you a credit (not a refund) for the purchase price of your garlic (excluding shipping).* This 45-day time frame is meant to allow you up to 2 weeks to plant your garlic, and up to 4 weeks to check for signs of growth.
(*) We reserve the right to not issue credit for items already replaced. We also reserve the right to require photographic evidence of the lack of germination of your garlic.
