Tulbaghia violacea, also known as society garlic or pink agapanthus, is a species of flowering plant in the onion familyAlliaceae, indigenous to southern Africa (KwaZulu-Natal and Cape Province), and reportedly naturalized in Tanzania and Mexico.[1]
Growing to 60 cm (24 in) tall by 25 cm (10 in) wide, it is a clump-forming perennial with narrow leaves and large clusters of fragrant, violet flowers from midsummer to autumn (fall).[2][3]
When grown as an ornamental, this plant requires some protection from winter frosts. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[4]
Medicinal uses[edit]
T. violacea is used locally as a herbal remedy/medicine to treat several ailments. Recently it was demonstrated to have androgenic[5] and anti-cancer[6] properties in vitro.
