A large, white flowered form with strongly scented flowers. I got it from Cotswold Garden Flowers and their label says: "Very stout, broad leaved American clone of this variable species, gardenia-scented white flowers for most of the year. 30cm." Writing on facebook on 2nd April 2012, Cheryl Renshaw says: "This is Tulbaghia simmleri 'Cheryl Renshaw', named for me not because I discovered it--I just bought it at a nursery--but because I sent off a few bulbs of it to a Tulbaghia collector in England, who decided it was different enough from the T. s. 'Alba' he had to warrant its own cultivar name. Unlike the best known society garlic, Tulbaghia violacea, this one has a lovely fragrance. Leaves are strappy and look something like a grey-green agapanthus, blooms appear in late winter/early spring or so. Somewhat frost tender...I've had the leaves turn to mush but then the flower stalks rise above the goop anyway and the plant survives." |
