The Allium, also called ornamental onion, comes in hundreds of varieties and is by far the most cultivated bulb crop worldwide. Onions, garlic, leeks, chives and shallots, they are all Alliums.
As an ornamental flower in the garden, the Allium is best known for its purple-blue spherical flowers. Occasionally a white or a flower that is somewhat looser in shape or one that is somewhat larger in size, but otherwise they are flowers that often resemble their brothers or sisters.
Allium Red Mohican fortunately brings some variation. Its beautiful colour and unusual flower shape are a welcome addition to the world of ornamental onions.

Planting and caring for Allium bulbs
Plant allium bulbs in a sunny to lightly shaded spot in well-drained soil. It is best to plant the bulbs in clusters to create a natural and colourful effect. Alliums look lovely amongst perennials, extend the flowering season of spring bulbs and often return year after year.
Read our comprehensive guide on when and how to plant and care for allium bulbs.
You can order allium bulbs from us from early spring onwards for the next planting season. We take care of the proper storage and only ship the bulbs when the autumn planting season begins. This means you receive fresh bulbs at the right time for planting and a strong start in the garden.
Allium bulbs are planted in autumn. Many Allium varieties can then remain in the same place in the garden for many years.
The correct planting depth depends on the variety. For many larger Alliums, we recommend a planting depth of around 10–15 cm, while smaller varieties may be planted less deeply.
For the best effect, we recommend planting Alliums in groups of five or more bulbs. This allows the flowers to make a stronger display in borders or natural-style plantings.
Many Allium bulbs can remain in the same place for many years. If the bulbs become too crowded over time, they can be divided in autumn and replanted.
Yes. Alliums are among the flower bulbs that are particularly attractive to bees. On our website, especially bee-friendly bulbs can also be recognised by the RHS logo.
