Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Reedy. Microclimates vary: frost hollows and hills run later.
A tough perennial with flat, garlic-flavoured leaves and white starry flowers in late summer. It handles Adelaide's heat better than common chives and dies back a little in winter. Toxic to dogs and cats, so keep pets away from it.
