Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Allium plant named ‘Pincushion’, with glaucous, upright, stiff, strap-like, slightly-twisted green foliage, and numerous, tightly-clustered, light lavender-purple flowers forming in densely-arranged globose umbels over a long period beginning in early August. Strong stems hold the flower heads upright through flowering and seed production. The new plant is deer and rabbit-resistant and makes an attractive plant for the garden.
