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.
Russian Red Garlic is a Marbled Purple Stripe-type hardneck variety and one of our most productive strains. Widely grown throughout British Columbia, this cold-hardy garlic also performs exceptionally well in the moderate, wet climates of coastal regions. Its beautiful purple bulb wrappers and richly colored cloves make it a standout variety in both the garden and market display.
Russian Red produces large, easy-to-peel bulbs with brown and purple clove wrappers, excellent storage quality, and outstanding flavor. Its combination of strong performance, big bulbs, vibrant color, and bold garlic character makes it an excellent choice for home gardeners and commercial growers alike. This is a true workhorse variety for those looking for a garlic that delivers impressive harvests and exceptional culinary appeal.
