Agapanthus.

I have decided recently that whenever I come upon a plant I am unfamiliar with, I shall immediately amend this and research it. I have heard of agapanthus, but could not think what they looked like. It seems that their anatomy is as striking as their name!


Agapanthus, "African Lily".
(Flowering perennial.)



Planting: Spring or early autumn.
Flowering: Midsummer to early autumn.
Aspect: Full sun, south or west-facing.
Hardiness: Half (evergreen) to fully hardy (deciduous).

Notes: Despite being elegantly simple in design, these plants have caused furious battles over the complexities of their scientific classification.
