I have it blooming all over my home garden, all derived from seed I got
from Silver Hill about 8 years ago; in fact, I recall they threw it into
an order as a freebie. It was very easy to grow at the time.

Dear PBSers,
I've grown Tulbaghia simmleri ( aka T. fragrans) for years in
its 'alba/white' form. I find it easy and very fragrant in bloom,
but it has never produced seed. A few years ago I got plants from
fellow PBSers (via trades) for the typical lilac-pink flowered form
and early this spring had both in bloom overlapping. I tried cross
pollinating in both directions.
