Pruning tulbaghia — FAQ
When should I prune tulbaghia?
After each flush of flowers; late winter for foliage tidy-up. Snap or cut flower stalks off at the base once blooms fade. In late winter, trim back any brown or frost-damaged leaf tips to the base of the clump with scissors or secateurs.
How often does tulbaghia need pruning?
As needed through the flowering season; once annually in late winter. Tulbaghia (society garlic) needs minimal pruning. Remove spent flower stems at the base after blooming to encourage further flushes. Cut back tatty or frost-damaged foliage in late winter. It is a clump-forming perennial that tidies itself reasonably well without intervention.
