Notes
'Tricolor' society garlic (Tulbaghia violacea 'Tricolor') is a bulb for borders, containers, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy or clay soil. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, and it tolerates drought and salt. It sits low on the menu for deer. Plant it near a path, where you can enjoy its fragrant arching foliage and flowers.
Pairs well with Mondo grass, Purple top, and Karl Foerster feather reed grass.
