Description
Monochrome cluster of Agapanthus or African Lily as they are commonly known.
Agapanthus or African lily are summer-flowering perennial plants, grown for their showy flowers, commonly in shades of blue and purple, but also white and pink.
Bold and architectural, agapanthus are strikingly beautiful plants that have become very popular in recent years. Originating in South Africa, and often called African lilies, their strappy leaves and statuesque stems, topped with balls of intensely coloured flowers, fit easily into a modern garden setting or a traditional mixed border. They also make fantastic specimen plants for pots, yet their glamorous looks are surprisingly low maintenance and there are many that will survive the winter outdoors.
There are two main types of agapanthus deciduous and evergreen and the surge of interest in them has led to the breeding and introduction of hundreds of new varieties.
