Allium amethystinum 'Red Mohican' is a special ornamental onion that immediately catches the eye in the summer garden. This spectacular summer bloomer distinguishes itself with its deep burgundy flowers, crowned with a striking crest from which small white flowers emerge during flowering. Thanks to this unique combination of colors and shapes, 'Red Mohican' has an exotic and almost sculptural appearance that contrasts beautifully with other perennials and ornamental grasses.

A distinctive feature of this allium is the development of the flower stalk. Until just before flowering, the stalk remains elegantly curved, after which it straightens into a sturdy, upright stem approximately 100 cm tall. This creates a playful and dynamic effect in the border. Furthermore, the strong, long stalks make this ornamental onion highly suitable as a cut flower. In bouquets and arrangements, Allium 'Red Mohican' provides a stylish and striking addition.

This species originates from the eastern and central Mediterranean regions, where it naturally grows on dry, rocky soils. As a result, it is well-suited to sunny conditions and feels most at home in a spot in full sun or partial shade. Flowering occurs in July and attracts plenty of bees and butterflies, making this allium not only decorative but also contributing to a vibrant and biodiverse garden.

Plant the bulbs at a depth of approximately 10 cm with a spacing of about 15 cm for the best results. Allium 'Red Mohican' is suitable for naturalizing and returns year after year. Although less suitable for pots, it shines all the more in borders and natural plantings. An exclusive ornamental onion for lovers of special garden plants with character.
