Description from Plant Delights Nursery

The South African genus Agapanthus is well-known for being a great summer-flowering, butterfly-attracting perennial in warm climates. The flowers can range from dark purple to light blue to white.

The South African genus Agapanthus (lily-of-the-nile) is well-known for being a great summer-flowering, butterfly-attracting perennial in warm climates. Our goal is to find cold-hardy agapanthus plants to expand their use as garden perennials northward…so far, we have trialed 93 different agapanthus. We’ve killed several, found others that don’t flower in cold climates, and discovered a few agapanthus that have been extraordinary garden performers in our Zone 7b climate.
