Product Overview
Society Garlic (Tulbaghia violacea)
Society Garlic is a beautiful ornamental plant for the water garden. It has long, thin, green, strap-like foliage with clusters of lavender-pink flowers held above on tall stems. Flowers bloom non-stop May through Fall. The stems and leaves have a garlic smell when cut or bruised, and the flowers have a delightful sweet fragrance. The foliage is perhaps less attention-getting than the variegated form, however the green form is more vigorous and also blooms a lot more. A native plant of South Africa, it has a reputation for helping ward off snakes.
