The tiny, star-shaped flowers of the Pinball Wizard Allium bloom in sphere-shaped clusters. The flowers have a lavender hue and are perched on top of single, thin stems with a medium green color. The flowers stand above narrow, strap-like foliage. The Pinball Wizard Allium starts to bloom in the spring, and the flowers last into the summer.

Plant this allium in beds, borders, or mass plantings for a meadow-like look. Trim the tall stems to display the flowers in arrangements. The globe-shaped flower clusters attract pollinators, like butterflies. Foraging animals like deer and rabbits generally leave alliums alone. Established plants are easy to maintain and drought tolerant. The Pinball Wizard Allium grows as a perennial in zones 4 through 9.

Pinball Wizard Allium Care

The Pinball Wizard Allium requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight to thrive. This plant can live in low-quality soil but responds well to rich soil. The soil should have medium moisture and be well drained. Water your allium during a dry period to help the plant continue to grow. Apply fertilizer in the fall and spring for continued growth.

Propagate Pinball Wizard Allium through division during the late fall or early spring. Bulbs may be pushed to the surface when the plant is crowded, so you’ll know it is time to divide the plant.

Pinball Wizard Allium Spacing

The Pinball Wizard Allium is a clump-forming, upright plant that will reach 24 to 30 inches tall and 6 to 12 inches wide. Space plants 8 to 10 inches apart to create a stunning mass of flowers.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
