Society Garlic | Carlo`s Plant Farm

Society Garlic is native to the rocky grasslands in eastern South Africa. It has long foliage with grey-green leaves and clusters of small lilac-lavender flowers. There are 8 to 20 flowers that make up each cluster.

Society Garlic has a strong smell of foliage that overpowers the sweet scent of the flowers. This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained loam soil. It is a drought-tolerant plant and can tolerate a light freeze.

Allow the soil to dry before watering again, and make sure there is an excellent draining hole in the pot to prevent root rot. Fertilizing them once a month during their growing season using general-purpose fertilizer will help them grow faster. You can propagate them via division and seeds.

You can grow them in USDA Hardiness Zone 7-10.
