Spanish Roja Rocambole Garlic bulbs are 2 1/2 inches (6 cm) wide. Its thin skin, with purple and brown splodges, flakes off easily, making it easy to peel, but also shortening its storage life compared with some other garlics.

There will be 6 to 13 uniformly-sized cloves per bulb, with easy-to-peel skin whose colour ranges from brown to purplish.

The garlic has a very hot, full taste.

The plant does well where winters are cold.

It belongs to the Rocambole sub-group of hardneck garlics.

Storage Hints

Stores 4 to 6 months.

History Notes

Spanish Roja Rocambole Garlic arrived in the northwest area of the United States sometime before 1900.

Language Notes
