Tulbaghia violacea

These plants flower profusely and continuously from June to October. Probably the hardiest member of the family, we grow these outside here on the Nursery in Somerset, and one could get away with growing them outside in colder areas of the UK, especially where it is drier in winter. Glowingly violet-purple flowers, with hundreds of stems on established plants providing colour for about 5 months. From divisions.

This plant/cultivar has been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit because it has proved to be reliable in appropriate conditions and a good performing plant. 

Planting Instructions
