Description

Add a beautiful, resilient pop of color and a wonderful pest-deterring fragrance to your landscape with our Society Garlic (Tulbaghia violacea). Grown with care right here at the Farm and Nursery at Chianina Microtopia, this tough, clump-forming perennial features narrow, grass-like, blue-green foliage and sends up tall stalks topped with gorgeous clusters of lilac-purple, star-shaped flowers. The leaves have a distinct garlic scent when crushed, which makes it incredibly deer and rabbit resistant! It is a spectacular, low-maintenance choice for borders, rock gardens, or mass plantings in your sunniest spots. 🏡✨

Quick Care Tips for Success:

☀️ Light: Loves full sun! It will tolerate light, partial shade, but it needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day to produce the maximum amount of those beautiful purple blooms.

💧 Water: Highly drought-tolerant once established. Water deeply and regularly for the first few weeks after planting, then allow the top few inches of soil to dry out between waterings. It thrives in well-draining soil and hates sitting in puddles.

🌴 Humidity: Absolutely loves our natural Florida heat and humidity.

🐾 Toxicity: Not pet-friendly. Like true garlic and onions, this plant contains compounds that are toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, so it's best to plant it where curious pets won't be tempted to snack on it.
