Agapanthus

Agapanthus praecox

I had a mix of both the common purple and white (albus), and the rhizomes got completely mixed up before planting. There could be just white, just purple or a mix but it is hard to know until they flower. If you are not fussed and willing to take the risk they are quite attractive when both are present, however if you desire a specific colour please feel free to inquire as I may know as the season progresses. I do also have a couple larger containers availible for £20.

Agapanthus praecox

Agapanthus praecox, commonly known as African Lily, is a striking perennial celebrated for its bold foliage and impressive globe-shaped flower heads. The plant forms clumps of long, strap-like green leaves that create a strong architectural presence while adding texture and structure to garden designs. In summer, tall upright stems rise above the foliage carrying rounded clusters of  trumpet-shaped flowers, creating a dramatic and elegant display. Agapanthus praecox is well suited to borders, gravel gardens, coastal planting, and containers, where its sculptural form can be fully appreciated. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and performs particularly well in sheltered, open positions. Evergreen in milder areas, this attractive perennial is an excellent choice for adding height, colour, and architectural interest to garden spaces.
