Allium 'Red Mohican' is exactly that - just when you think the bloom is about fully open, the middle florets start to rise way higher than the surrounding ones, creating this 'mohican' effect. This is the start, it will be a week probably before it reaches its peak. Click on the hashtag to see last years pics for a sneaky peak #alliumredmohican #allium #macro

Wow that's fab Rich 👌

Oh I remember this! It's fab! 👌🏼

#allium - let's see how 'Red Mohican' develops over the next few days 🤔 - these are currently over 4ft tall! #alliumredmohican

I'm diggin' its current pointy wizard hat look 🤗

Haha! You can just imagine a little face on it! 😆 @TheGardenWife

😄👍 @jinxjen

The #allium buds of 'Red Mohican' look like little fire hoses that have whipped out of control 😀 #alliumredmohican

Morning Rich ,Looks like he doesn't know which way to go 😂😂😂

@richard.spicer.7906 Paint stripes on him and he could be a Viper. 🐍 Great shot👌🏻

Very unusual

Oohh err strange 😂😂

Hope to see these in flower, imagine there very striking!

Hehe, that's what I was thinking too Julie - drunken allium 😂 @juliesgarden

Thanks Mo! Maybe I could charm him to flower 😁 @angipangi

It is a bit @16540210 - not grown this variety before but I think it does eventually straighten out. I've got another one doing a similar thing 🤔

I'm surprised it's still standing Pearl what with the recent winds, tough old things though. I'm more amazed how long the buds are, never seen them like this before. @fuschia

Yes, me too @scott22hay , it was the pictures on the web that drew me to buying them, and they do indeed have this little Mohican thing going on too 😀

Well, I really hope the flowers of this particular Allium are far more inspiring than the foliage right now 😂🤔 #allium #alliumredmohican

They look similar to my "hairy" alliums, foliage looks a bit non plus I'm sure the flower looks up to it. I hope 🤗

Fingers crossed @lamaisonbleueoleron

Last one tonight. This is a relatively new Allium, which has a unique tufted flower head. Lovely wine red colour with a white mohican crest 🤓. Planted 14th November.

#bulbs #allium #alliumredmohican

Looking forward to seeing all these in flower @richard.spicer.7906

👌🏻😊

I can't wait to see your garden, next spring, think you will have to have an open garden day. ☺️

Roll on next spring 🌺🌼🌸

Wonderful Richard. You have lots of new plants to keep an eye out for 👏👏👏👏

So am I Joan, some wonderful plants I have now. Just hope I can keep them alive and going through Jan/Feb. All looking good at moment. The mini cloches are working great 😀👍🏼 @joanboston

@mojo it's tempting Mo, but I'd have to hide off the remainder of the jungle. It's great to have the space to fit all these plants, but a lot of it does get left to the 'natural look' cause of time etc. Maybe I could have a 'bring a shovel' open day 😂

Great idea Rich, 👍. Just chuck some wildflower seeds over the rest and it will look just like Highgrove House natural garden. 😂

Pleased the mini cloches are working. Not sure they would have survived the winds we have had recently!
You might recall I posted a pic of this last week, before it developed its amazing shape.... Allium 'Red Mohican' - flowers later than the bigger Alliums. The rising florets start to form a silvery shimmer on them. It's one of my favourite Alliums 😊 #allium #alliumredmohican
Loving this one 😍
Stunning 🤗😎
Thats fabulous Richard, so different 👍👍
The Red Mohican that you both mentioned @Eeyore & @Denise16 it's fab 🌞😀🌞
Oooh that's it thanks Sarah, lovely Richard! @sieveheadsarah
Love Alliums.
