Liven up your early-summer planting schemes with a raucous crowd of punky-looking Allium 'Red Mohican'. These quirky characters show up late to the gig, headlining with the very last of the Alliums between early to mid-summer. Their deep red flower heads make a bold statement as they sway on their tall, strong stems above the foliage of emerging summer perennials. If your style is to stray from the ordinary, Allium 'Red Mohican' brings a bit of bizarre fun to the garden. The added bonus is that they’re hardy, reliable and easy to grow.
With the very minimum of fuss, you’ll enjoy a brilliant turn out from perennial Allium 'Red Mohican' every year. They’re very easy to grow, simply plant the bulbs in autumn and leave them to it. The claret-coloured flower heads include some fine details, such as a dusting of white and yellow anthers below that unmistakable hairstyle comprised of a tuft of flowers at the top. Growing to a height of around 1m, Allium 'Red Mohican' are perfect for growing in groups or swathes through a border where they’ll kick-start summer with style.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Choose full sun or partial shade. Improve heavy soil with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost with good drainage.
Plant bulbs pointed side upwards, two to three times their own height deep. A slightly flattened side is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.
Space small bulbs around 5cm apart. Larger bulbs need more room, generally around twice their own width apart, so their foliage and flowers can develop freely.
Water after planting if the soil is dry, then only when needed. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally. Decorative seedheads can remain in place.
