Tulbaghia Violacea
M6863
Description
The dainty, petite umbels of Tulbaghia ‘Violacea’ offer a surprising range of benefits both in the garden and in the kitchen. Clusters of fairy-like violet blooms dance above narrow, grey-green leaves, perfect for edging borders, and adorning rockeries and container displays.
Otherwise known as ‘Society Garlic’, all parts of this plant are edible with the potent scent and flavour of chives. The roots are said to possess antibacterial and antifungal properties, boosting soil health alongside plants prone to fungal disease, such as roses.
This drought-resistant, half-hardy perennial has been granted an Award of Garden Merit by the RHS for its versatility and high performance.
