Tulbaghia Variegated Society Garlic

Often referred to as Pink Agapanthus, Tulbaghia Variegated Society Garlic is a tough, fast-growing clumping perennial prized for its attractive grey-green foliage highlighted with creamy white stripes. Throughout the warmer months, elegant stems rise above the foliage carrying clusters of delicate mauve-pink star-shaped flowers that closely resemble miniature Agapanthus blooms, creating a long-lasting display of colour and movement in the garden.

A member of the onion family, Tulbaghia is valued for both its ornamental appeal and culinary uses. The leaves and flowers are edible, offering a mild garlic flavour without the strong aftertaste or lingering aroma associated with traditional garlic, which inspired its common name, Society Garlic.

Easy to grow and exceptionally low maintenance, Tulbaghia is equally at home in ornamental borders, cottage gardens, mass plantings and kitchen gardens. Quick to establish and highly adaptable, it thrives in full sun to part shade and performs best in well-drained soil. Its excellent heat, drought and coastal tolerance make it an ideal choice for challenging garden positions.

With attractive variegated foliage providing year-round interest and a continual display of charming flowers that attract bees and other beneficial pollinators, Tulbaghia Variegata is a versatile and rewarding addition to almost any garden.
