Society garlic is a groundcover that produces delicate, star-shaped purple flowers. These perennial plants grow to about a foot tall and are wonderful in borders or mass plantings. The rhizomes and leaves are edible and can be used in dishes the same way that garlic or garlic chives are used. Flowers are also edible and can be used as a delicate garnish.
Growth Habit: Clumping, ground cover, 1-2ft tall
Native Origin: South Africa
Hardiness Zone: 8-10
Environmental Needs: Full Sun to light shade, Deer resistant, Drought Tolerant
Growth Rate: Moderate
Maintenance: To improve drainage and encourage flowering, work two to three inches of organic compost or general-purpose fertilizer into the soil once a year in early spring. Established plants can survive extended droughts, moderate frosts, and light freezes. Remove any foliage that may be damaged by frost.
