Garlic - Rocambole - Killarney Red - Org

Killarney Red Organic Garlic (Hardneck) is thought to come from German Red or Spanish Roja, but grows better than both. It is a large outstanding rocambole from Idaho. The bulbs contain 6 - 11 cloves that are very easy to peel. Killarney Red has a color that is a typical light brown. Like other Rocamboles, its flavor is strong, hot, spicy and sticks around for a while. This garlic is better adapted to wet conditions than other rocamboles.
