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
Can’t get big plants without big cloves. Loved them
Would putchase again, really good garlic.
This is my second year growing garlic from MIgardener. Will keep ordering from them also!!
Grew these for the past three years and I will keep growing them for many more. I highly recommend them. Great germination rate. Every onion grew to the size of baseballs and others a bit bigger and they store very well.Best long day onion I have ever grow.
I am very happy with my heirloom seeds. I cannot wait to germinate them.
Started my seeds on 12/31/25. I’ve had almost 100% germination and the onion seedlings are a couple of inches tall at this point (1/9/26). Looking forward to a great harvest!
Grew these last year, so I bought more seeds! they were awesome, very prolific and tasted great!!
I started them early....did waterjug winter seed starts .. they did very well....grew up to be nice sturdy plants, bearing lots of fruit! Thank You!!
