Tulbaghia Dark Star

Tulbaghia Dark Star® , also commonly known as 'garlic herb', is grown for its showy, fragrant, edible flowers. It features clusters of lilac-pink flowers that bloom from summer to fall on stems that rise above the foliage. These flowers are supported by thinner, ribbon-like foliage than the type, which releases a garlicky odor when crushed or broken. 'Dark Star'® forms a shorter, more compact bush, making it more attractive for planters and foregrounds in flowerbeds.

Flowers and leaves can be used in salads or to decorate your dishes, as they are edible .

Tenacious and resistant, it is commonly used in low-maintenance gardens, tolerating well drought and sun.
