Additional Notes
NAME TULBAGHIA ‘CARIAD’ registered with KAVB 21/10/2008
Summary
Cariad is Welsh for sweetheart, which is I think an apt name for this new sweetly scented Tulbaghia which produces an abundant display of small flowers of the very palest pink held on 20 cm stems.
In contrast the corona which is at first green, changes to darkish mustard brown and matures brownish orange.
The relatively fine linear foliage is green, with a light sheen, and while erect at the beginning of the season, becomes recumbent with age. Consequently this marvellous wiggy effect is most effectively displayed in a pot on the patio in order that the habit of the foliage is shown off to advantage.
Obligingly it bulks up relatively quickly and is deciduous, thus likely to be hardy.
The flowering period is from late April onwards. 6 flowered umbels.
