Tulbaghia cominsii x violacea (Seeds)

Long flowering perennial of South African origin. Long thin leaved foliage, onion scented when crushed. Purple – pink flowers from June to October. Very good patio plants in planters, enjoying warm conditions and very drought tolerant. In cold areas mulch plants in the ground in winter and protect pots from extended freezing temperatures. Hardy outside to about -10ºC.

Planting Instructions

Seedlings may vary, due to the hybrid nature of the plant. Sow thinly in spring, in a coarse, soil based compost, or pot and grow these outside in the summer, but protected in the winter. Plant out when easy to handle, about 1.5” (4cm) apart in a sunny situation in free draining soil in warm areas, but in posts that can be winter protected in cold areas. Plants flower in their second year. Drought tolerant and hardy to about -5c.
