Killarney Red Rocambole Garlic bulbs are about 2 1/2 inches (6 cm) wide and uniformly-sized. They have thin purplish-brown skin which flakes off easily, so the garlic doesn’t store for a long time.
Inside, there will be 8 to 10 large, uniformly-sized cloves in a single layer with easy-to-peel pink skin. Frequently, there will be double cloves.
The plant thrives where winters are cold.
The garlic belongs to the Rocambole sub-group of hardneck garlics.
History Notes
