Chesnok Red is an autumn planting hardneck variety of garlic.

Chesnok Red is a Middle Eastern hardneck variety from Shvelisi in Georgia with attractive purple striping and a lovely, full-bodied flavour. It makes a great choice for baking as it has a lovely creamy texture. Also great for making garlic bread.

Hardneck types - these are closest to wild garlic and naturally form a seed stalk which gives this type its name. This stalk or scape is delicious used in stir fries and sauces! Hardneck varieties are very hardy, so will thrive throughout the UK, and are ideal for more northern areas.

Hardneck types form larger cloves than softnecks, but do not keep as long. See our Garlic Growing guide for cultivation advice.
