Description

Agapanthus is one of the most hardy rhizomatous bulb species available to gardeners in most climatic regions around Australia. They will thrive in conditions of neglect such as dry slopes and near the coast. Even when the foliage of some varieties is killed off by frost, the rootstock often survives. A strong growing perennial with glossy, arching, strap shaped leaves and an abundance of showy, many flowered umbels on long erect stems in summer. Agapanthus are ideal as specimen or group plantings in gardens and containers or grown in rows along driveways, footpaths and fences. The flowers can be picked and last well in a vase.
