Tulbaghia violacea variegata is commonly known as Variegated society garlic. It’s an evergreen, clumping perennial. The thin leaves are a green/grey with a cream border. From spring right through till autumn it produces clusters of violet flowers on slender stems.
A perfect plant for cottage gardens, as a border or mixed garden beds. The plants do smell like garlic. That can be a good or bad thing depending on your taste.
Tulbaghia violacea variegata grows best in a sunny position with well draining soil. Although we have had great success with it in boggy areas. It’s a small grower only reaching about 40cm in height. Will tolerate light frosts.
