Through the years I've tried just about everyone for bulbs but A.D.R. is tops. It's a family run business and the service levels and expertise are as good as the product they sell. My clients rave about the results we get with A.D.R. and that makes me happy.

Allium Tall 'Red Mohican'

Ornamental Onion

Allium 'Red Mohican' reaches 3 to 4 feet tall, featuring drumstick-shaped wine-red flower heads tipped with tiny white florets. Blooming from late spring into early summer, its unique crested blooms create a striking focal point. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and attracts pollinators. Native to southern Europe, it naturalizes easily and returns year after year. Ideal for borders and mixed plantings, it pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses and late-spring perennials.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Allium Tall 'Red Mohican'

Timing: Plant in fall before the ground freezes to ensure proper root development. Ideal soil temperature for planting is 60°F or colder.
Location: Choose a sunny, well-drained spot—poor drainage can cause bulb rot.
Depth & Spacing: Bury bulbs two to three times their height and space them six to twelve inches apart for optimal growth.
Soil: Maintain a pH of 6 to 7 and enrich with organic matter for better drainage.
Watering: Keep soil moist but not soggy during initial growth; once established, alliums are drought-tolerant.
Foliage Management: Leaves yellow after blooming—plant among perennials to disguise fading foliage.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to prevent self-seeding unless you want naturalized clusters.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support strong blooms.
Pest & Disease Resistance: Alliums are deer and rabbit resistant but avoid planting in areas with excessive moisture to prevent fungal issues.
Crop Rotation: Change planting locations yearly to prevent soil-borne diseases.
