Tulbaghia 'Snow White'



When I bought it from Cotswold Garden Flowers the description said:

"Pure white flowers Apr-Nov, fine grey foliage, 30cm. (Amaryllidaceae) (Guessing H4)."

In my plant the broad leaves are bright green which suggests that it is a hybrid with T. simmleri in its parentage.
Edulis list it as a white selection of T. violacea and the flowers are certainly right, but the foliage is all wrong.
