These 2 ornamental onion bulbs 'Pinball Wizard' will add purple colour to your garden or patio from May through June. Ornamental onions bear round flower heads on tall stems and are a popular source of nectar for bees and butterflies. They look beautiful in borders among perennials, gravel gardens and large pots; the spent bulbs remain decorative. Bulb size 18/20 indicates how many centimetres the bulbs measure around; a larger bulb contains more reserves for flowering.
