Hardneck

1 full head

Chesnok Red-Purple Stripe is a hardneck variety that was originally cultivated in the Republic of Georgia and brought over to the United States after 1985. These bulbs produce 4-6 medium cloves with a paper coating showing beautiful red stripes. The rich sweet flavor holds its own through the cooking process and is sure not to overpower your dish. Chesnok Red is grown well in most climates, from the southern to the northern parts of the United States. This heirloom variety is known to store longer than many hardneck varieties, keeping its vitality into the next spring!

Type: Purple Stripe

Cloves per Bulb: Approximately 4-6 cloves

Flavor Profile: sweet, garlic flavor without heat

Perfectly packaged on arrival. Looking forward to harvesting garlic next year 🧄❤️

They were big bulbs, and taste was good, but many cloves have some faint small brown spots.

A Solid Garlic Variety

Growing Chesnok Red garlic was a lot of fun for a first time garlic grower. The garlic was covered with straw over the winter (Michigan, zone 6a) and weeded a few times in the spring and summer but that was about it. I was worried that the bulbs would be small since the necks were so small in the spring/summer, but after harvesting the scapes on the plant the garlic grew a good amount bigger. Just a solid variety all around to grow.

Wonderful

Loved the garlic grew great this year

Big and Beautiful

This is a new variety to me and I can't wait. The bulbs were big and beautiful, planted them today.
