| Botanical Name | Tulbaghia violacea |
| Description | A dependable perennial for Willis and Houston landscapes, Society Garlic is prized for its long blooming season and rugged nature. It produces starry lavender flowers on tall stalks above garlic-scented foliage. This scent is a natural bonus, often helping to deter deer and garden pests. It handles the Texas heat with ease and remains evergreen in milder winters. For best results in local clay, plant in a sunny spot with good drainage to prevent summer root issues. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Sun (Best flowering occurs in full sun) |
| Height x Width | 1-2 ft. Tall x 1 ft. Wide |
| Water | Low to Moderate; very drought-tolerant once established. Ensure the soil is well-drained to avoid crown rot during heavy Houston rain events. |
| Zones | 7 - 11 (Reliable perennial for Southeast Texas) |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to fuel steady growth and consistent blooming. |
| Pruning | Remove spent flower stalks at the base to keep the plant looking tidy and encourage new blooms. Trim back any tattered foliage in late winter. |
| Deer Resistance | High (The garlic-like scent is a natural deterrent) |
