Russian Red Hardneck garlic is a robust, heirloom variety known for its strong flavor and excellent storage capability. This hardneck type produces large, purple-striped bulbs with 8-10 cloves each, offering a rich, spicy taste ideal for culinary use. 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.
Type: Purple Stripe
Cloves per Bulb: Approximately 8-10 cloves
Flavor Profile: Spicy, medium-hot and enduring when raw, the taste is all strong garlic with a subtly sweet aftertaste when cooked.
Storage Life: 6-8 months
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.
The clove was small and moldy.
great, seem very healthy
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
Thanks MiGardener for the wonderful garlic bulbs. They are currently “laid to rest” in their organic bed of compost and richly amended soil under a layer of pine shavings. Looking forward to their “resurrection day” next summer, 🧄😜😂

This variety of sweet corn is incredibly durable in our warmer southern climate. It has endured hot temps and is even thriving. We look forward to enjoying our early fall harvest soon.
I think I bought 5 packets which was good for covering 2/6ft beds
Everything grew quickly, lots of nitrogen fixers and it's all still thick & lush. I will chop & mulch into the soil after all this rain probably around December for the winter/spring garden season here in FL
Producing wonderfully :)
This doesn't fail to impress. Great variety that successfully blooms throughout the season!
Great seed quality!
