Agapanthus africanus - 2026

Agapanthus africanus is a striking evergreen perennial known for its large, spherical clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers in deep blue or violet, held aloft on tall, slender stems above strap-like foliage. Blooming in summer, these dramatic flowers create a bold architectural statement in borders, containers, or at the edge of ponds, adding vibrant colour and vertical interest. Agapanthus africanus is particularly admired for its long-lasting blooms and elegant form, making it a standout feature in both formal and naturalistic gardens.

Thriving in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade, Agapanthus africanus is drought-tolerant once established and relatively low-maintenance. It attracts pollinators and can provide a striking contrast when paired with softer foliage plants or other summer-flowering perennials.
