Romanian Red - sold out until 2013
Flavor: Delightfully hot, long lasting flavor.Type: Hardneck; Porcelain
Description: One of our best yielding most beautiful garlics. Romanian Red is a classic porcelain type garlic similar to Music and Rosewood. White bulbs on the outside, pink to red clove wrappers with large bulbs and cloves are the name of the game with this one. The plants are well formed and stocky. Last year we noticed a lack of rust resistance, but surprisingly this didn't seem to faze Romanian Red and it grew right through to produce good yields, which makes it disease tolerant and vigorous. Four to six large, easy-peel cloves have a delightfully hot, long lasting flavor. Good keeper for a hardneck but not as long as the silverskins. Originating in Romania coming into this country via the Pacific Northwest. It has been a good garlic for our climate for many years now. Minimum bulb size for our seed garlic is at least 2.25 inches across, though many are larger.
