Attractive, deep blue flower clusters on stalks above clumping, evergreen foliage. Effective in groups, creating a lush tropical effect. Occasionally reblooms, if spent flower stems are promptly removed. Good container plant in colder areas or perennial color accent in outdoor beds where winters are more mild. Agapanthus Africanus
Agapanthus makes a lovely back border or focal plant due to its height, beautiful trumpet-shaped flowers and leaf texture. For a dramatic effect, plant a large grouping throughout a sunny garden spot. Agapanthus flowers can also be used in container plantings in cooler regions.
Especially striking when grown en masse, the blossoms open to magically transform a landscape. Sometimes called African Lily, this plant works in a tropical setting or formal landscape...or creating a cottage garden or English garden look.
This is a versatile plant - it can be used as an accent, border, foundation plant beneath low windows, even a groundcover.
Native to South Africa, Agapanthus are such flamboyant and exotic-looking perennials that it is impossible not to love them. Easy to grow, pest and disease free, they feature showy, rounded clusters of brightly colored flowers on stiff, upright stalks atop clumps of beautiful, long, shiny leaves. They look spectacular when planted in great swathes, fit most garden settings or mixed borders, make fantastic accent plants in containers and are excellent cut flowers!
