Just like A. 'Globemaster' and A 'Beauregard' this excellent onion was created by crossing Allium macleanii x Allium christophii. It owes its name Pinball Wizard to the rock opera "Tommy" by The Who from the sixties. The countless dark violet flowers together form a dense flower cluster with a 15 cm diameter, carried by a solid 85 cm stem. The leaves stay beautiful during flowering.
