Globes of rich sky-blue flowers are borne from June to August on Agapanthus ‘Africanus Blue’, from a bed of strap-like foliage.

Native to South Africa, these members of the lily family are true gems for the summer garden - ideal for large pots and stunning in a mixed border as a gently swaying, bold swathe of colour.

The flowers are excellent for cutting, with long, strong stems which make them brilliant for arranging as accent flowers.

Although hardy in warmer, southerly regions and coastal areas, we recommend protecting your Agapanthus plants over winter by mulching the crowns, or by bringing containers undercover during the coldest months.

Umbels of stunning, pure white flowers bloom between June and August, bringing an elegant look to planting schemes, and suiting both contemporary and traditional gardens.

The graceful stems are perfect for cutting and adding height, shape and texture to summer floral arrangements and bouquets, just as they do in the border.

Agapanthus can be grown in large containers of well-drained soil and as part of a mixed, herbaceous bed.  Protection from frost is advisable in colder regions by bringing containers inside, or by mulching the crowns.

Rounded umbels of pretty, pure white flowers with yellow anthers grace Agapanthus ‘Duivenbrugge White’ from June to August.

Sometimes referred to as Agapanthus ‘Icicles’, this hardy perennial brings a sophisticated touch to planting schemes - its architectural looks are particularly striking in a simple green and white design.

Duivenbrugge White’s tall, strong stems make it an excellent Agapanthus for cutting.  A single stem displayed in a tall, narrow vase is a simple, yet arresting sight.
