Tulbaghia 'Hazel'



Archive entry 26.08.18

A very elegant hybrid. The brownish flowers have orange highlights.

Writing in the JRHS in 2011, James Armitage says:

"Other introductions by Liz Powney include: Tulbaghia| 'Hazel', a powerfully fragrant cultivar with briownish pink reflexed tepals and a corona that turns from greenish to yellow tipped with orange"

Far Reaches Farm say:

"An unusual color form of a hardy, perennial, evergreen, deer-resistant South African bulb? No florid adjectives needed, just the bare bones make this appetizing enough (not to mention that garlicky odor). Soft pinkish-brown strap-like petals surrounding a burnt orange center make for a subtle and yet distinct flower. This is one society garlic whose parlor I would definitely drink an aristocratic cuppa in.!"
