Flat Pot Ø 50 cm

Ideal for hedges, borders and green roofs

The purple tulbaghia is a charming aromatic plant with a faint garlic scent.

It tends to form dense cushions of slender green leaves. It produces abundant pink-purple star-shaped flowers for most of the year, especially if the plant is grown in the milder areas of our country. Tulbaghia is an easy-going plant, hardy and resilient even when subjected to repeated pruning.

  • Habit and height: dense clumps, with flower stems up to 50–60 cm tall.
  • Foliage: linear grey-green leaves with a slight garlic aroma.
  • Flowering: from May to October, with edible lilac-purple star-shaped flowers.
  • Hardiness: very hardy, drought-tolerant and withstands repeated pruning.
  • Ideal for: adding colour to Mediterranean gardens and pots.
  • Soil: well-drained, even poor soil.
  • Exposure: full sun; tolerates partial shade.
  • Watering: regular during the first few months, then very little water.
  • Pruning: remove faded flowers and dry leaves at the end of winter.

From May to September (for much of the year in the mildest areas) it produces abundant star-shaped flowers of a lilac-purple colour on slender stems. The flowers are edible, with a delicate garlic flavour.

Aromatic with a slight garlic scent; prefers full sun for abundant blooms but tolerates partial shade in well-drained soils. Drought-tolerant and withstands repeated pruning. Removing faded flowers encourages new blooms.

It pairs well with Mediterranean plants such as Lavandula angustifolia, grasses such as Pennisetum setaceum, or perennials such as Gaura lindheimeri.

FLAT POT SIZE Ø 50 CM

Instant effect: a finished garden from day one

Flatpots are well-established plants, grown in our nursery in a shallow, wide pot measuring Ø 50 cm. They arrive with a full crown and a wide root ball, with roots that spread outwards instead of circling.

The result is an instant impact: as soon as they are planted, hedges, borders and flowerbeds already have the appearance of a mature garden. You don't have to wait years for the plants to grow and, thanks to the wide and shallow root ball, they establish quickly: they are also ideal for green roofs and shallow soils.

They are the right choice for designers, landscapers and companies that need to deliver a finished project, and for anyone who wants to transform their garden in a single season.
