Harvests in early-mid summer - a rich flavored, very hot strong garlic that stores into spring at cool room temperature

Grows well in most states even some years in Warm Winter Areas, but will be marginal there in years with early hot summers.

Romanian Red, like most porcelains is a large and beautiful garlic with rich robust flavor that is strong and has an aftertaste that lingers. The clove covers are a light brown streaked with purple. 

Romanian Red has been tested and generates more allicin , by far, than any of the other ones tested.  If you want a hot garlic , this one is it- and it stores into the following spring!.

From a grower's perspective, it is a large and healthy garlic to grow and appears to be relatively resistant to most of the diseases that can affect garlic. It was grown in Romania for centuries.
