Tulbaghia ‘Starburst’

(Tulbaghia violacea variegata)

Tulbaghia ‘Starburst’ is a hardy, clumping perennial grown for its striking variegated foliage and soft lilac-pink flowers. Its slender, upright leaves are striped green and creamy white, creating year-round interest even when not in bloom. In warmer months, it produces sweetly fragrant, star-shaped flowers that rise above the foliage on tall stems.

Growing Conditions:
Thrives in full sun to part shade and performs best in well-drained soil. Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it ideal for Australian gardens. It’s also resistant to pests, hardy in coastal conditions, and perfect for mass planting or edging.

Uses:

  • Ornamental border or edging plant

  • Container gardening and courtyard pots

  • Underplanting for roses or larger shrubs

  • Low-water and cottage-style gardens

Size:

  • Height: 40–50 cm (including flower spikes)

  • Width: 30–40 cm

This tough yet elegant plant is a fantastic choice for gardeners seeking beauty, resilience, and a touch of fragrance in their landscape.
