Society Garlic

(Sweet garlic; Pink agapanthus) A more civil version of garlic can hardly be imagined: its lavender-pink flowers are sweet-scented like hyacinths, and are showy, and you don’t get bad breath when you eat it! It tastes like garlic -- the mild garlicky rhizomes, leaves and flowers can be used like garlic and chives -- but it’s not a garlic, it’s a type of amaryllis. Weird, but wonderful! Flowers all summer. Prefers full sun and sandy, well-drained soil. Ht. 30-40cm/12-16”.
