Tulbaghia spp.: characteristics and care
Tulbaghia spp., popularly known as ornamental garlic, includes various perennial species native to South Africa, appreciated for their narrow, aromatic foliage and their umbels of star-shaped flowers in pink or lilac tones, which appear for an extended period.
Their continuous flowering and low maintenance make them a very practical option for borders, flowerbeds and planters.
They tolerate moderate drought well once established and adapt to different soil types, provided they have good drainage.
At Ornacom we cultivate each specimen directly, guaranteeing a balanced size and vigorous development from the first years of planting.
