Russian Purple garlic

Garden uses

Notes

'Russian Purple' garlic (Allium sativum 'Russian Purple') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun. This purple stripe hardneck garlic is grown for a fiery, spicy flavor when fresh and a rich, complex, garlicky flavor when roasted. Plant it in fall and harvest in mid to late summer.

Pairs well with Sandy lettuce, Palemeno Tomato tomato, and Peione parsley.
