Agapanthus Summer Love™ 'Blue' (P)

 - comm. African Lily

What an impact this South African beauty will make to your garden! A half-hardy perennial, with masses of flower. Compact for an Agapanthus, ideal for large containers or mid-border, with its profusion of trumpet-like, azure-blue flowers all summer, on strong green stems held by strappy green foliage. The genus name Agapanthus, derives from the Greek words for love and flower – ‘agape’ and ‘anthos’ respectively. So the name of this series ‘Summer Love’ is fitting for such a beauty!
