Agapanthus really are a favorite among gardeners, and it’s not hard to understand why! These perennials are super easy to care for and put on a stunning show in the summer with their tall flower stems crowned by clusters of star-like flowers. We’ve gathered three fantastic varieties that complement each other perfectly, creating a lovely blue and white arrangement. Whether you choose to plant them in pots on your patio or in sunny garden beds, you can count on them to grab attention!
These exotic blooms make a real statement in sunny borders and patio container displays, returning each summer and getting better every year. The large spherical blooms are also magnificent in cut flower displays and their architectual seed heads continue the display well into the Autumn. Foliage stays green year-round, offering valuable winter ground cover. Hardier than most other modern introductions.
