Product Details
Cloves per bulb: 9-10
Chesnok is Russian for garlic, and 'Chesnok Red' is also known as 'Shvelisi,' which refers to its origin near Shvelisi in the former Republic of Georgia. This heirloom cultivar has bright purple streaks and blotches on the bulbs and contains 9–10 easy-to-peel cloves, also with purple-striped skins. Its robust flavor and buttery texture hold up well during cooking, and it is well-rated for baking or roasting. Stores 4 to 6 months.
Due to state restrictions, we cannot ship garlic to Idaho, Hawaii, and the following counties in Washington—Adams, Benton, Franklin, Grant, and Klickitat (including cities such as Othello, Pasco, Moses Lake, Kennewick, and Richland). Please do not order garlic if you live in one of these locations.
We source our garlic from local farms, where passionate farmers hand-harvest each bulb. This commitment not only supports our community but also ensures top-notch quality and flavor in every product.

Purchased 3 bulbs, which yielded about 32 heads of garlic. Even the smaller cloves produced larger bulbs than we could pick up at the grocery store. Would absolutely purchase again.
EGEpic GardeningSep 1, 2026Hey Jillian,
We're so stoked to hear that your Chesnok Red Hardneck Garlic has been such a fantastic success! It's awesome that you got about 32 heads from just 3 bulbs - that's seriously impressive! And we love that even the smaller cloves produced bulbs bigger than what you'd find at the grocery store. Thanks so much for being part of the growing community! Keep on growing 🌻

This was my first time planting garlic. The cloves have that beautiful coloring inside. I would love to try this variety again and adjust my watering/feeding to make the bulbs more consistent. The scapes were yummy too!

I ordered this garlic because Becky of Acre Homestead spoke of it. As I watched her harvest scapes, and prepare them to eat, I thought I'd like to try that. ( I ordered 2 varieties). I have planted the red chesnook variety a bit late. Waiting for the first heavy frost. Instead of reading your email. 😕
I also ordered a soft neck variety Super White, that one hasn't gotten outside yet. Some of the cloves have cracked. I had left them in the box too long 😥 these things were obviously on me. I'm not trying to shirk the responsibility on to you. I'll know better next time. The garlic I ordered was way too pricey to make the mistakes I've already made. The shipping,I should say was what sent it over the top... I digress, but it's all inclusive.
- Amanda M.Verified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 starsOct 14, 2026One Bulb for This Price??!
I am a loyal customer and have always loved the seeds I get and their germination rates. This is the first time ordering garlic. I am extremely disappointed that I only got one bulb for almost $7! I was flabbergasted, as was my husband! I wish the description had specified that you're only getting one. I will go back to planting grocery store garlic, which always gives me a high yield and costs less than a dollar a bulb. This is a rip off!
