'Chesnok Red' is a splendid hardneck garlic variety that is originally from the village of Shvelisi in the Republic of Georgia. It is a delicious all-around garlic that is especially good for roasting: giving a sweet, deep, garlicky goodness to any dish.

It consistently produces large bulbs. Bulbs mostly tend to have a beautiful red/purply color but this can vary with growing conditions.

There should be about 8-12 cloves per bulb. Can store for 6-7 months.

This seed garlic was grown by our friends at Driftless Seed Supply outside of Viroqua, Wisconsin.

We recommend planting garlic between September and late November in most of the US.
