Hardneck
1 full head
Bold, beautiful, and packed with flavor, Russian Giant Garlic lives up to its name. This robust hardneck variety produces impressively large bulbs, often with 4–6 plump, easy-to-peel cloves wrapped in striking purple-streaked skins. Native to the cold climates of Eastern Europe, it thrives in cooler growing zones and delivers reliable harvests with a rich, complex flavor—perfect for roasting, sautéing, or enjoying raw if you like a little bite.
Type: Marbled Purple Stripe
Cloves per Bulb: Approximately 5-7 cloves
Flavor Profile: A great mild flavored garlic with large fat cloves which is a great all-purpose garlic especially in raw dishes, but is wonderful sautéed & roasted too.
Storage Life: 5-6 months

Great fertilizer. Used for the first time last year for my fall bulbs and they were stunning and strong come spring. Planting another 250 bulbs this fall so came back for more bulb fertilizer. I also use the Trifecta. Can’t go wrong with any of Luke’s amendments.
Great germination and very prolific.
I grew this in a straw bale garden in 2025 and really enjoyed it. It grew amazingly well and was beautiful, so I purchased more for 2026. Michigan zone 6b.
I have grown these for the last few years and they are hands down my favorite. I like romas and firm tomatoes. These remind me of mini romas. These are less prone to splitting, super easy to harvest and has a super great flavor and very meaty. YUM!
The cloves are large, full and heavy. Of the two cloves I kept (shared 2 with my daughter), 12 were large enough to plant, 1 will be consumed.
