Tulbaghia violacea Silver Lace

Strongly silver-variegated form of T. violacea; mauve flowered, and worth trying outside in sheltered gardens - but the conventional wisdom is that this form is more tender. They are however very long flowered, and would make an unusual feature planted in a ceramic pot - the foliage alone being very eye-catching and the scent less garlicky. Very drought resistant, so maybe a candidate for a sunny corner where it seems never to get very wet. From 9cm pots.
