Chesnok Red-Purple Stripe is a hardneck variety that was originally cultivated in the Republic of Georgia and brought over to the United States after 1985. These large bulbs produce 9-12 medium cloves that have a paper coating showing beautiful red stripes. The rich sweet flavor holds its own through the cooking process and is sure not to overpower your dish. Chesnok Red is grown well in most climates, from the southern to the most northern parts of the United States. This heirloom variety is known to store longer than many hardneck varieties, keeping its vitality all the way into the next spring!
About 90 days to harvest, once growth starts.
