Rocambole Garlics

Rocambole Garlic is a subgroup of the hardneck group of garlic.

There are about 30 members of this group.

The bulbs will be up to 2 ¾ inches (7 cm) wide, and have thinner bulb wrappers than other hardneck garlics. The bulb skin will have purple flushes on it.

Inside, there will be 6 to 12 large, fat, uniformly-sized, easy-to-peel cloves with generally blunt tips, arranged in a single, circular formation. The cloves tend to have brownish skins.

Above ground the plants will grow a stalk 3 to 4 feet (about 1 metre) tall. They don’t like warm climates such as the American south; they prefer cold winters and cool springs.

Ready to harvest mid-season.

Rocambole Garlics tend to have good flavour both raw and cooked, retaining their flavour well when cooked.

Storage Hints

Storage life 4 to 6 months. Some say really only 3 to 4 months.
