Russian Inferno Hardneck
Russian Inferno Hardneck
Huge, Purple, and Hot!
Russian Inferno is our largest bulb. You have to see the clove size to believe it! Russian is also the best variety we have found so far for maintaining rich purple coloring after curing. These beautiful bulbs create an eye-catching market display. Russian Inferno has a fiery flavor and is a great choice for salsa makers. Russian Inferno grows well in Zones 7 and cooler. Growers in warmer climates may have trouble storing the bulb for long-term propagation.

Look out for these 3 things:
The garlic will be in the ground until early summer, so pick a spot you will not need for spring gardening.
Soil must be well drained if you have wet winters or springs. Raised beds or rows are wonderful for garlic.
There must be enough nutrients to feed the garlic through its long growing season. Garlic is hardy, but optimum bulb size is achieved through a good, rich soil. We mix in composted animal manure and top off with some compost or super soil.
-
Separate the garlic bulb into cloves. Do this as close to planting time as possible as they will begin to soften quickly after separating.
Plant each clove pointy side UP, 2"-6" deep (the further north you are, the deeper you plant).
Space 5" apart, with 8"-10" between rows.
