Product information

Tulbaghia violacea, commonly known as society garlic, is a clump-forming perennial with strap-shaped green leaves forming neat tufts in borders or containers. In summer it produces clusters of small, star-shaped lilac flowers above the foliage, providing delicate colour and attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. This species thrives in moist but well-drained soil and provides ecological value by supporting nectar-feeding insects. Its upright, clump-forming habit and tolerance of light shade make it ideal for pond margins, mixed borders, and naturalistic planting schemes.
