The plants are hardy, thriving in cold climates and resistant to many common garlic diseases. Russian Red is harvested in mid-summer, and its bulbs can be stored for up to six months under proper conditions. Gardeners appreciate its vigorous growth and reliable yields, making it a favorite among garlic enthusiasts. This garlic variety adds a bold, flavorful punch to any dish.

These bulbs were HUGE! The cloves are double the size of other varieties! Cant wait for next summer.

Big cloves that have 3 times the flavor of store bought

I live in the PNW and Russian Red Garlic thrives here. I typically have a 100% success rate. I tried about 8 other varieties only to keep going back to Russian Red as my hands down favorite. I want the largest most flavorful cloves that I can produce because I find it tedious and time consuming pealing garlic cloves. All my relatives line up to get some Russian Red Garlic at harvest time. I grew about 300 Russian Red in 2024. You can't beat it for a good immune boost.

Very disappointed!

The clove was small and moldy.

great, seem very healthy

3/5

It's some of the biggest garlic I've seen but about half the cloves I got were moldy when I went to plant them
