Agapanthus
CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION
The name Agapanthus comes from the Greek Agape which means love and Anthos which means flower. Agapanthuses originate from Southern Africa. They are a clump forming rhizomatous perennial with fleshy roots and strap like green foliage. The flowers come in tones of blue or white and are borne in abundance on erect stems during summer. They can be very tall or very small. As a general rule the more miniature forms with narrow foliage are hardier than the larger wider leaf forms. Some are fully deciduous and others are evergreen. All are easy to grow and very tolerant of less than ideal conditions, just look at the mass plantings done along motorway strips etc. What other perennial do you know that would grow so well in such adverse conditions? They are beautiful and long lasting in a vase. So take another look at the Lily of Nile and if you have a difficult site where nothing else will grow this African Beauty will probably be very happy to set up home there.
