Cloves per bulb: 8-12
This heat-tolerant garlic has bright pinkish-red wrappers and produces the largest bulbs in mild-winter areas. A winner of many taste tests with a distinctive shallot-like flavor, this Creole-type garlic is good for both raw and cooked use. It does not usually produce a scape in mild-winter areas, making it a beautiful, braidable variety. This variety was originally from the California virus-free program in the 1980s.
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.

A little sweet, a little spice; Creole Red garlic is very nice! Its shallot-like flavor is right in the midlevel range between sharp and sweet. As its name suggests, it’s great in Creole and Cajun fare but also tastes fantastic in Mexican cuisine.

Love all the seed starting tray equipment and seed selection so I had to try garlic.

I rely on EG because you’re in San Diego! Our unique climate(s) can be misleading and confusing for a rookie gardener (92115). I like your laid back style while providing some very serious informative content, and I love your cooking in the garden segments! I am enjoying the way both Kevin and Jacque are growing with their garden esthetics, overall style🤙🏼

I purchased 3 hardneck garlic varieties to try this year in zone 5b. And was surprised to open the creole red - packaging says it’s a soft neck, but my receipt and the description here say it’s hardneck. I’m not upset about it, but more confused as I’m not sure if I’m supposed to plant it differently.
Which best describes you as a gardener? BeginnerEGEpic GardeningOct 10, 2023Hey Brittany, Thank you so much for the feedback. We are looking into this. Creole Red is a hardneck, although it can act as a softneck in mild-winter areas (like southern California) and skip scape development in those frost-free areas.
There are no differences in how to plant it, however - both hardnecks and softnecks are planted and grown the same way. The only thing that differs about the two is whether the garlic tries to flower, producing the scape. I hope that helps. Thanks again for the feedback, we appreciate it!

I love the products here, plus I’ve been following epic garden since I’ve decided to start my gardening journey. I’ve learned so much. My beds are covered in snow so I don’t have any pictures of the garlic I’ve recently purchased.
