Red Russian Garlic variety Allium ophioscorodon.
The distinctive wrapper leaves of these big bulbs are slightly purple. Red Russian garlic has the ability to withstand soggy winter soils better than any of the others.
This is a hardneck Asiatic Garlic. Asiatic varieties are earlier harvesting than other types
Red Russian is an early maturing variety and will store for about 4-5 months. The fact that they can be harvested early plus their relatively short storage time makes them a good choice for those wishing to stagger their harvest times and have fresh garlic available for a longer time.
Red Russian garlic tend to have a strong and hot taste. Usually will have 4-8 large cloves. If the scapes are kept on the plant, the bulbils tend to be relatively large.
