Organic German Red (Rocambole)
$16.00
German Red Garlic is an heirloom Rocambole-type hardneck variety that has been grown in German communities throughout the United States for well over a century. Renowned for its rich, robust flavor and reliable performance, this classic heirloom has become a favorite among gardeners and chefs who appreciate traditional garlic varieties with exceptional taste.
German Red produces flavorful, easy-to-peel cloves with the bold heat and complex character Rocamboles are known for. It also offers better storage than many hardneck varieties, making it an excellent choice for growers who want outstanding flavor without sacrificing keeping quality. Whether enjoyed fresh, roasted, or incorporated into your favorite recipes, German Red delivers the classic garlic experience that has stood the test of time.

For much of the year, we are selling seed that is still in the ground. You can pre-order based on our conservative harvest estimates. If the actual harvest is less than our estimates, we can usually find a similar strain to substitute within the same varietal group, so please check YES to “May We Substitute?”. If you select NO we will send a refund for any sold-out strains. An expert always considers your location, similar traits in strain, and any other strains already on your order to avoid duplicates. You are also welcome to add any notes if you have specific requests for possible substitutions, or you can request that we contact you if substitutions are necessary.
