Look, South African 'Alba'

  • Product number: 831859.1
  • Origin: South Africa
  • Latin: Tulbaghia violacea

A reasonably winter-hardy relative of the Agapanthus, so to be safe, plant it in a pot, unless the soil drains well, in which case planting it in the open ground is well worth the risk. Both the leaves and flowers of this elegant plant are edible and have a mild to strong garlic aroma! The Zulus have a long tradition with this plant: flavouring, stimulating, and medicinal. This is the green-leaved variety, which blooms with bright white flowers and thus brings not only flavour but also beauty and ornamental value!

Names:
Latin: Tulbaghia violacea
Dutch: Look, Zuid-Afrikaans (Garlic, South African)
Also known as: Tulbaghia
