Description

Korean Red Certified Organic Garlic Bulbs

  • Grown in Wisconsin
  • Hardneck Garlic
  • 9-12 Med/Large Cloves/Bulb
  • Robust, very hardy, great performer in most US Regions
  • Sizes up well to jumbo sized bulbs in our region
  • Grows well in Northern and Southern States
  • Beautiful red striped bulbs for great market appeal
  • Garlic flavor: In demand by local farmer market vendors, because of the good multiplication of cloves = bulbs, but the flavor is unlike any other with a zingy citrus flavor.  Sweet when roasted
  • Storage: Longer into spring.
  • This Korean Red has a story behind it.  It was purchased from Irish Eyes about 20 years ago by a small organic farmer in Viroqua, WI.  It was given to other local select experienced garlic growers that have grown it since.  They have watched it change through the years growing in our region, but are fascinated with this garlic.  When we first received it at Keene Garlic a decade ago, it look like Asiatic Korean Red with a satin wrapper.  Since then, it has changed in our region to appear more like a purple stripe, but the bulbs grow so large with most of them growing Jumbo annually.  It is loved by garlic growers due to its multiplication factor and large consistent size, and phenomenal flavor.  Keeping up with its namesake, Korean Red from Wisconsin has adapted to our region so it may be different than other sources of Korean Red.

The bulb and clove amounts are ESTIMATES to help you determine how much garlic there is by weight for help with planting and spacing.   

Approx. 6-8 bulbs per pound and 72-96 cloves per lb. plants 36-48 linear feet at 6” spacing.

Note: Garlic is an agricultural crop that is subject to crop loss due to conditions beyond our control. This can even occur in the curing stage. We check each bulb before shipping them to you, so if there are any quality issues, we may need to substitute. We rarely need to do this, but it does happen. If it is necessary, we will substitute with a similar garlic, but if you have any comments on this please fill out the comment section like a back up garlic or no substitutions. We still want to get you some great garlic, so please choose how you would like us to proceed with your order if the item you ordered is not available. We do set aside some great garlic in case we do have to substitute garlic!

    This was the best growing and tasting garlic in PA Zone 5. Great flavor raw and also cooked. I grew Persian Star and Montana Giant as well. KR was the best producer. It is not hot like a true KR and it really appears like a purple stripe. I’m growing all 3 again this year as a just in case, but expect the KR to outshine again. So hardy!

    I harvested a really good 👍 crop of garlic this year, I have an experiment for next season for even bigger garlic, if it works I’ll surely let you know and maybe you can try it in your home garden. Love ❤️ your garlic. THANKS.

    I have ordered this in the past. Never disappoints.

    Unbelievable flavor,pungent,spicy. Small cloves and more difficult to peel than others but harvest damaged by weather, animals. Will try again this year since flavor was outstanding.

    If you have good ground and fertilizer garlic yields very well

    In NW Montana these produced small loose bulbs. The taste is great. We will see if they store as well as the German extra hardy

    I’ve had such success growing garlic. It’s amazing. To me this is some of the best tasting garlic cloves are so easy to peel and are so delicious. This is one of my favorite garlic to grow.

    We are a small farm in southern VA and have a 501 C-3 to teach developmentally disabled and those that need an outlet to garden. We are just getting our operating up and running but have been gardening and ordering from Keene for a few years

    Keene garlic is always beautiful and needs little help from us! Some bigger name seed outfits send garlic seed that looks like it was forgotten years ago

    Thank you Keene

    The Korean Red Garlic we purchased from Keene in 2025 is terrific!! The bulbs arrived in perfect condition and grew into beautiful plants with large bulbs into 2026.
    The flavor of Koread Red is very delicious! rich & bold with a kick of heat, a total win for any dish!

  17. Paulette Tinder (verified owner) –

    These also turned out pretty well. They were a little smaller than the German one but still nice and firm. They will be usedin a recipe soon. I peeled a few and they smell so good!

  18. Kaity R. (verified owner) –

    First time growing this variety, but second order from Keene. The quality of the bulbs was excellent. We harvested 100% of the cloves planted and each one was top notch in taste. We were very happy so we decided to order twice as much for the next season!

    First time growing Korean red. The scapes were later than the other two varieties I grew this year so some were missed by me, a very lazy gardener. Still got a nice crop. Flavor is fantastic.

    Survived 16 degree F after a week of 80 degree F in late April. Grew well with large bulbs. Will replant in October.

    The bulbs were smaller and at first we thought the taste was just regular garlicky; after drying we tried again and wow! Great flavor and heat.
