Variegated society garlic (Tulbaghia violacea 'Variegata', USDA Hardiness Zones 7-10) and purple garden sage (Salvia officinalis 'Purpurascens', Zones 4-10) make up a charming container planting in the herb garden at the Toledo Botanical Garden in Toledo, Ohio.

Welcome to the Fine Gardening Garden Photo of the Day blog! Every weekday we post a new photo of a great garden, a spectacular plant, a stunning plant combination, or any number of other subjects. Think of it as your morning jolt of green. Sign up to get it in your mailbox, so you'll always remember to take a look. We look forward to sharing our garden travels with you. If you think you have a photo that we should share on the Garden Photo of the day, email us. Send hi-res images to mgervais@taunton.com with GPOD in the subject line. We'll only respond if we plan to use your photo.
