Society Garlic (Tulbaghia violacea)
Fragrant, easy-care perennial with beautiful purple flowers and garlic-scented foliage.
Society Garlic is a charming, clump-forming perennial that produces long, grass-like green leaves and delicate clusters of lavender-pink to purple flowers on tall stems. Despite its name, it’s not true garlic — but the leaves release a mild garlic scent when crushed. It blooms profusely from spring through fall, adding cheerful color and movement to the garden.
