Tulbaghia violacea, or Society Garlic, is a hardy, clumping perennial from Southern Africa known for its grass-like foliage and clusters of small, lilac-pink flowers on tall stalks, blooming through warmer months. Its leaves and flowers have a mild garlic scent and are edible, serving as a chive or garlic substitute in cooking, while the plant itself is drought-tolerant, pest-repelling (mosquitoes), and ideal for edging, rockeries, or containers, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil. .
