Tulbaghia ‘Purple Eye’

Pretty star-shaped pink flowers, each with a darker eye, appear in loose clusters on top of upright stems over a prolonged period from midsummer. Flourishing in a sunny, sheltered spot, it is ideal for planting in drifts through a gravel garden or freely draining border, and it also looks great when potted up for the patio. A member of the same family as the alliums, it has slender, strap-shaped foliage, which smells just like onions.
