Agapanthus - 'African lily' or 'lily of the Nile'

Agapanthus, commonly known as the African lily or lily of the Nile, is a genus of perennial plants native to South Africa. These striking plants are celebrated for their beautiful, globe-like clusters of flowers, which typically bloom in shades of blue and white, though some cultivars feature pink hues. Agapanthus plants typically grow in clumps, reaching heights of 1 to 4 feet, depending on the species. They have long, strap-like leaves that can be evergreen or deciduous, depending on the climate. The flowers bloom in summer, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.

Widely used in gardens, borders, and as container plants for their striking appearance. Ideal for coastal gardens and xeriscaping due to their drought resistance. Agapanthus is a versatile and beautiful addition to any garden, providing vibrant colour and texture throughout the growing season. With their low maintenance needs and adaptability, they are a favourite among gardeners and landscapers alike.
