Substitutions

For much of the year, we are selling seed that is still in the ground. You can pre-order based on our conservative harvest estimates. If the actual harvest is less than our estimates, we can usually find a similar strain to substitute within the same varietal group, so please check YES to “May We Substitute?. If you select NO we will send a refund for any sold-out strains. An expert always considers your location, similar traits in strain, and any other strains already on your order to avoid duplicates. You are also welcome to add any notes if you have specific requests for possible substitutions, or you can request that we contact you if substitutions are necessary.

Description

Ajo Rojo Garlic is a Creole-type variety from Spain, brought to us through Nevada in the early 1990s courtesy of G. Lutovsky. This beautiful garlic is prized for its brilliant purple clove skins, excellent culinary versatility, and classic Creole character.

Ajo Rojo has a wonderfully balanced flavor profile — mild and creamy when roasted, yet intensely spicy when eaten raw. The heat develops slowly, building into a powerful garlic punch that makes this variety a favorite among cooks who enjoy bold flavor. Its striking appearance and exceptional taste make it a standout Creole for warm-climate growers.
