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.
This is the standard commercial garlic grown throughout British Columbia. There are two strains referred to as "Russian Red", one is a true Rocambole and this one is a Marbled Purple stripe. It does have a flavor similar to Rocamboles in its complexity. Beautiful purple bulb wrappers. Clove wrappers are brown and purple. This strain produces large bulbs that are easy to peel and store very well .
NOTE: Maximum allowable order size for this variety is 5 lbs.
