{"product_id":"col-bulb-all-pin-wiz-5","title":"Allium 'Pinball Wizard' (Ornamental Onion) – Large Purple Globe Allium (Bag of 5 Bulbs)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAllium 'Pinball Wizard' is a striking ornamental onion with large, perfectly round flowerheads in rich violet-purple. You receive 5 dry bulbs in a bag, ready to plant. They are not growing plants. The photos show the flowers in bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe globe-shaped heads can reach up to 20cm across and deepen in colour as they mature. They sit on tall, sturdy stems above strap-like grey-green leaves, which usually die back by flowering time. The long-lasting blooms make a bold architectural feature in borders, cottage gardens and contemporary schemes, and they are good for cutting. Bees, butterflies and other pollinators visit the flowers in late spring and early summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant the bulbs in autumn in a sunny, well-drained spot, 10 to 15cm deep with the pointed end facing upwards. They also grow well in pots and containers. This allium is fully hardy and can stay in the ground all year, but the bulbs may rot if the soil stays wet through winter. For the best impact, plant in groups of five or more. Alliums pair well with ornamental grasses, roses and late-spring perennials such as geraniums and salvias. After flowering, leave the seedheads in place for structural interest and for dried arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBulbs are harmful if eaten. Keep away from children and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allium spp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ornamental Onion, Allium Pinball Wizard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 60-90cm tall and 10-15cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, with tall sturdy stems topped by large spherical flowerheads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Borders, cottage gardens, contemporary planting schemes, containers and cut flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strap-like, grey-green leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e September to November\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e February to May, with the flowerheads in late spring to early summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 10-15cm deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, fertile soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully hardy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68152657182940,"sku":"COL-BULB-ALL-PIN-WIZ-5","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/file_3d9e6fcc-f365-421a-9be2-b263d610cbe2.png?v=1794155016","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-bulb-all-pin-wiz-5","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
