Society Garlic

With beautiful lavender flower clusters, this species of society garlic was used for food and medicine by the indigenous Zulu tribes of South Africa. The flowers and leaves are garlic-scented and are used for their sweet garlic-onion taste. Legend has it that this plant is called “society garlic” because its garlic scent does not linger on the breath – being perfect for “high society.” Deer, fire, and drought tolerant, and somewhat gopher resistant.
