African Lily
Agapanthus Headbourne Hybrids
This is a long-flowering, clump-forming hardy perennial with glossy, strap-like, mid-green leaves and clusters of divine, trumpet-shaped flowers which vary in colour from deep blue to white. These are borne on stiff, upright flowering stems producing a pleasing gradation of blues which can be used to great effect in flower arrangements. Perfect for growing as a specimen plant in a container on the patio, it also looks excellent when combined with pink flowering perennials in a sheltered border. An elegant, free flowering variety of African lily whose clumps can be lifted and divided every three to five years if required
