Agapanthus

Agapanthus – often called the African Lily – is summer drama at its very best. From neat clumps of strap-like foliage rise strong, upright stems topped with dazzling globe-shaped heads of trumpet flowers in rich blues, inky purples and crisp whites. It’s a brilliant choice for sunny borders and large pots, bringing a bold, architectural look that lasts for weeks and pairs beautifully with grasses, salvias and lavender. Many varieties are long-lived and drought-tolerant once established, and the flowers are excellent for pollinators (and stunning in a vase too). If you want dependable summer colour with a clean, modern feel, Agapanthus is a real showstopper.
