Tulbaghia violacea ‘Silver Lace’ — Variegated Society Garlic for Edging and Containers

Tulbaghia violacea ‘Silver Lace’, commonly called Silver Lace Variegated Society Garlic, is a clumping
perennial valued for its narrow cream-and-green variegated foliage and delicate lavender-pink flowers. Its
tidy habit and light foliage color make it useful for brightening garden edges, walkways, and mixed
plantings.

This plant is a strong choice for customers looking for a low-maintenance accent with both foliage
interest and seasonal bloom. The slender leaves bring a grass-like texture, while the flower clusters add
soft color that works well with succulents, shrubs, and Mediterranean-style plantings.
