Personality Profile:: Red Russian raises the brow and awakens the sleuth within us. "What is this mysterious sensation... this paradox of complexity and simplicity?!" A fabulous "table garlic" and loyal friend you'll always want around the house. Due to its popularity, we grow Red Russian in bulk to supply seed stock for new farmers.

The staple cultivar for BC growers everywhere. Evenly sized cloves and vigorous growing characteristics make this a favorite for farmers, and consumer recognition makes it an easy sell. There is also a Rocambole called Russian Red (note the word position swap) which we carry under the name of Russian Red Rocambole. These two cultivars have vastly different characteristics despite their similar name.

NOTE: Please contact us if interested in bulk purchase of large non-certified Red Russian bulbs.
