Sweet Garlic

Scientific Name:
Tulbaghia violacea

Sweet garlic is a plant known for its fragrant, star-shaped purple flowers and garlic-scented leaves. It thrives in tropical and subtropical climates and grows best in well-drained soil with moderate watering. While it can adapt to full sun or partial shade, it plays a vital role in supporting local ecosystems by attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
