Tulbaghia simmleri (Sweet Wild Garlic)

Tulbaghia simmleri is a slender, erect, clump-forming, evergreen perennial to 250 mm, with a bulb-like rootstock. Leaves are grey-green, flat and strap-like. The inflorescence is an umbel of pink to mauve-pink, occasionally white, strongly fragrant, tubular flowers.

In comparison with Tulbaghia violacea (Wild Garlic) that many gardeners are familiar with, T. simmleri leaves are wider and thicker, and not as strong smelling, and T. violacea has only three small corona lobes that don't form a tube, whereas the corona in T. simmleri is a more noticeable feature of the flower.
