Agapanthus
Agapanthus flowers are tubular or bell-shaped, and bloom in clusters on sturdy stems. They resemble miniature lilies, and come in shades of blue, purple, or white.
Appearance
Each flower has six parts: three petals and three sepals that look the same
The flowers often have darker stripes down the middle of each petal
The flower clusters are rounded umbels that hold 20 to 100 flowers
Bloom time
Agapanthus bloom primarily in the summer, but in frost-free climates they will bloom into fall
Varieties
Blue Storm: A popular blue variety that produces soft violet-blue flowers
Poppin Purple: An evergreen variety with dark indigo buds that open to violet blossoms
Storm Cloud: A semi-evergreen variety with deep-blue flowers
Growing conditions
Agapanthus thrive in full sun and need 6-8 hours of sunlight each day
They perform best in fertile, moist, and well-drained soil
They can be used in borders, mass planted, or in a container
