Scallion Red Flower (Allium ‘Red Mohican’)
General Description
Allium ‘Red Mohican’ is a striking ornamental onion variety known for its unique deep red, globular flower heads with distinctive white tips. Native to Europe and Asia, this species has gained popularity in garden landscapes for its bold visual appeal, long-lasting blooms, and ability to attract pollinators. The plant’s unusual upright flower spike, resembling a Mohican crest, makes it a standout feature in both modern and traditional garden designs.
Plant Characteristics
Scallion Red Flower grows up to 90–100 cm in height, producing strong, sturdy stems that hold dense, ball-shaped flower heads. The flowers emerge as deep burgundy-red and feature small white protrusions at the top, adding to their unique structure. The plant’s narrow, lance-shaped green leaves appear in early spring, forming a low-growing base before the tall flower spikes emerge in late spring to early summer. This species thrives in well-drained soils and sunny locations, offering a long blooming period that extends well into the summer months.
Taste and Benefits
While primarily cultivated for ornamental purposes, Allium ‘Red Mohican’ belongs to the onion family and carries a mild, subtle onion scent. Though not commonly used in culinary applications, some ornamental alliums are known for their natural antibacterial properties and their ability to repel certain garden pests.
Cultivation Recommendations
Scallion Red Flower thrives in full sun and well-drained, sandy, or loamy soils. Seeds should be sown in early spring or autumn, lightly covered with soil, and watered until germination, which usually occurs within 14 to 21 days. Once established, the plant is highly drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance. It is best suited for borders, rock gardens, and wildflower meadows. Deadheading spent flowers can prolong the blooming period, while dividing bulbs every few years will help maintain vigorous growth.
Uses and Benefits
Allium ‘Red Mohican’ is highly valued in ornamental landscaping due to its bold floral structure and rich coloration. Its long-lasting blooms create dramatic vertical accents in perennial flower beds, cottage gardens, and urban landscapes. Additionally, its nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, contributing to a healthy garden ecosystem. The dried flower heads retain their shape and color, making them a popular choice for dried floral arrangements and interior decorations.
Packaging
The seeds are carefully selected and packed in moisture-resistant packaging to ensure high germination rates and long-term viability.
Shipping Information
Orders are processed within 1–2 days and shipped worldwide, including across India. Delivery typically takes 1–2 weeks, depending on the destination.
