Description

In this smaller version of the popular Agapanthus africanus ‘White’, the flowers are borne in spherical clusters on short 8-12” long stems which appear above the foliage in the spring and summer months. The flowers resemble fireworks – a sphere of beautiful funnel-shaped flowers. Long strap-like very narrow deep green leaves form a handsome architectural mound. This evergreen is excellent in borders or can serve well as an accent in the landscape. It craves sun to part shade and will not exceed 12-18” in height with a similar spread. This evergreen is excellent in borders or can serve well as an accent in the landscape. Hardy to 10°F, it is native to South Africa. Agapanthus africanus resists drought but does best with regular water and well-drained soil. It tolerates seacoast conditions well and is an excellent container plant. Bees, butterflies, and birds find the flowers irresistible.
