• 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 8 years 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.  Hesitant to call it Korean Red since it seems to of changed in our region, we are calling it Wisconsin 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!
