Leaves emit a mild garlic scent when crushed, hence "society garlic." Lavender-pink, star-shaped flowers bloom on tall stalks in spring and summer.

Care & Planting: Variegated Society Garlic (Tulbaghia violacea 'Variegata') features narrow, grass-like leaves with white/cream variegated edges. Plant in well-draining soil with full sun to partial shade; moderate watering, becoming drought-tolerant once established. Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to promote growth and flowering.
