Also known as Society Garlic. Cariad is Welsh for 'sweetheart', and is a hybrid bred by Liz Powney who used to keep a National Collection of Tulbaghia. A vigorous clump-forming perennial with narrow strap-like leaves and umbels of strong flowers, mauve with an orange eye, from June to November. Leaves and flowers are edible. Gives a pleasant garlicky taste to salads and dishes without the 'unsociable' aftertaste, hence its name. Ht: 40 - 60 cm. Priced for a 9cm pot
