Tulbaghia violacea 'Silver Lace' is a clump-forming perennial to 50cm with onion like bulbs and narrowly linear grey-green foliage with a cream margin. Terminal clusters of fragrant, pale lilac flowers up to 3cm long are borne from mid-summer to early autumn
Grows well in any moderately fertile, well-drained, loamy soil.Most availaible plants are just one or two bulbs so a good show will only be produced in the second year though they should fower this year.Not very hardy so we recommend bringing iindoors or careful covering in winter - worth every effort. 
Height: 10-50cms
Spread: 10-50cms
 
Plants are mostly grown in 9cm pots so sometimes there is a need to grow on for the first season to see a mature effect only in the second.
Some older supplied pots may be thick with stems but please note at the other extreme rather than not supply we sometimes send bare root divisions of the size we use for our own potting (continued since Covid stock shortage) usually these are pound or so cheaper than a grown pot. Tips for success are sent with all orders.
Slugs in Summer of 2024 (list deletions)
Most gardeners experienced severe damage from slugs and snails due to the extreme wet and a relatively mild winter. Some genera were not just damaged, but the extra stocks destroyed. We may reintroduce gradually some of the most valued, but others previously listed may remain absent for now.
Please read our notes before placing the order:
1. The pictures in this listing are examples of the available plant at maturity and do not indicate anything in regard to size of plant at the point of sale. You will receive an organically produced young plant grown in a 9cm pot for planting immediately or to grow on (pot removed, when possible, to reduce plastic waste)
2. Seasonal difference in plants: Please be aware if you are new to gardening, that the plants we supply are mostly herbaceous perennials and many go dormant in winter. You may receive what looks like an empty pot or piece of root. This will produce new growth in spring.
3. The date the Royal mail label is bought (tracking number added as sent against your orders) is the date your order is lined up for picking. It is likely to be put into the post a couple of days later.
Thank you.
