The quantity may vary per package.Russian Red Rocombole Hardneck Garlic An heirloom garlic with large, copper-veined, purple-blotched bulbs. This garlic was brought over by immigrants from Doukhobor, Russia in the 19th century. It is popular because it performs well in cold climates while handling wetter winter soil. It has a deep warm flavor with a sweet aftertaste. With proper growing conditions it is a robust and healthy grower that is subject to few pests. It stores up to 6 months at cool room temperature. When mature, this variety produces a "scape" shortly before harvest time. Scapes are long leafless flower stocks that grow directly from the root. Growing full sized garlic from bulbils takes patience but is extremely rewarding. Unlike growing garlic from cloves which mature in one season, bulbils take several seasons to mature but offer benefits far beyond immediate gratification. Garlic bulbils are "seeds" produced by the garlic scape (flower) They are actually small clones of the parent plant. Porcelain bulbils are about the size of a grain of rice. Rocambole varieties can be as large as peas. They can be planted in the fall or in the spring and are a great, inexpensive way to start your own garlic bed, or experiment with different varieties. Some growers believe that growing your own garlic from bulbils help the garlic adapt to your climate. Growing from bulbils may produce more robust garlic. (We got our start by growing bulbils and the resulting full sized garlic out performs new varieties we purchased as bulb stock. For us, it took a few seasons for the cloves from purchased bulb stock to get use to their new home and reach their full potential.) Garlic bulbils likely do not carry soil borne diseases so they are ideal for those worried about introducing disease problems. When they begin to grow you may want to use the small garlic bulbils instead of cultivating them to produce bulbs. They are great for gourmet cooking. They are wonderful in salads and as topping for various dishes.
