}}Tulbaghia violacea, also known as society garlic, is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae, indigenous to southern Africa (KwaZulu-Natal and Cape Province), and reportedly naturalized in Tanzania and Mexico.[1]

Growing to {{convert|60|cm|0|abbr=on}} tall by {{convert|25|cm|0|abbr=on}} wide, it is a clump-forming perennial with narrow leaves and large clusters of fragrant, violet flowers from midsummer to autumn (fall).[2][3]

Cultivation

When grown as an ornamental, this plant requires some protection from winter frosts. This species[4] and the cultivars ‘Purple Eye’[5] and ‘Silver Lace’, with cream-margined leaves,[6] have all gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.[7]

Medicinal uses

Tulbaghia violacea is used locally as a herbal remedy/medicine to treat several ailments. Recently it was demonstrated to have androgenic[8] and anti-cancer[9] properties in vitro.

Tulbaghia violacea exhibited antithrombotic activities which were higher than those found in garlic.[10]
