This hardneck type produces large, purple-striped bulbs 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: Rocambole
Cloves per Bulb: Approximately 6-8 cloves
Flavor Profile: spicy, medium-hot and enduring when raw, but strong garlic with a subtly sweet aftertaste when cooked
Storage Life: 5-6 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, 🧄😜😂

I grew only a few seeds, but they came up fine, and I was able to get some delicious, sweet melon! I sprayed it once with a copper fungicide, and I should have done it a second time, but I still go melons. (I have a struggle with fungal problems here). Easy to grow, easy to eat!
This stuff feed my garden all summer. Highly recommend
This was one of my first tomatoes from MIgardener seed and I loved it so much. Very tasty green tomato, and even though it was only in a smallish container, it was one of my best producers! Nice clusters (not quite so big and dense as the photo, for me at least...) and great flavor for eating fresh in the garden. I'm not the best with tomatoes, I don't treat them as well as I should, and I grow in Seattle (8b?) which is finicky weather every year, so I was surprised these did so well! Will definitely grow again. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures saved on the vine, but the little green one in the attached photo is one of them!
Love sales. Time to stock up
Pollinators love this flower. Especially honey bees.
They grew in spring then reseeded themselves for fall.
