Society garlic is a versatile herb that is primarily grown for its attractive, grassy foliage and delicate purple flowers, which add aesthetic appeal to food forests. Its leaves and flowers have a garlic flavor without the harsh bite of garlic bulbs sporting a compact size (usually around 1-2 feet in height). Society garlic thrives in warm, sunny conditions and can be planted year-round, making it a low-maintenance choice to substitute the more difficult to cultivate garlic bulbs.
