Tulbaghia ‘Silver Lace’

Description

A herbaceous perennial grass with clump-forming, tufted foliage and lovely flower umbels above. The Tulbaghia Silver Lace, sometimes called Society Garlic, is a rhizomatous plant with long, narrow, arching leaves of silver-green with thin cream margins which emit a garlic scent when crushed. Around mid-Summer, slender stems appear above the foliage carrying loose panicles of trumpet-shaped, purple-pink flowers which last through to the start of Autumn.

Plant in moderately fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil and keep in full sun in a sheltered position. Prefers loamy soils. Winter mulching is advised to protect from drying winds and frost in colder regions.
