The lily of the Nile from South Africa
Native to South Africa, the Agapanthus sends up majestic spherical umbels of blue or white flowers in summer, held high above lush clumping foliage.
Hardy and drought-resistant once established, it returns faithfully each year, offering generous flowering in beds and large pots alike.
"The Agapanthus crowns summer with blue spheres reaching for the sky."
