Variegated Society Garlic 'Silver Lace' (Tulbaghia violacea): Edible Ornamental

Tulbaghia violacea 'Silver Lace' (also 'Variegata') is a clump-forming perennial from the Amaryllidaceae family. Its narrow, grass-like leaves are edged in creamy white, and it produces umbels of delicate lavender-pink flowers from spring to fall.

Growing 12 to 18 inches tall, the foliage has a garlic scent when crushed, and both leaves and flowers are edible. Thrives in full sun to partial shade, well-drained soil, and is drought-tolerant once established. A versatile plant for herb gardens, borders, or containers.
