Plant Biography
Agapanthus africanus ‘Albus’ is a gorgeous perennial with strappy, mid-green leaves and balls of white, funnel-shaped flowers held singly on upright stalks that resemble white fireworks exploding throughout late summer.
Agapanthus africanus hail from South Africa, which gives some clue as to their preference for being sunbaked. Whilst needing a bit of protection in colder gardens, this is an extremely popular candidate for coastal gardens as well as smart city planters or borders.
The species name is composed of Ancient Greek words agap ‘love’ and anthos ‘flower,’ making it the flower of love.
Care & Size Guidance
Plant shallowly in full sun and keep undisturbed for best results, mulching with gravel if possible to keep the crown free of moisture and avoiding rot. Alternatively grow in a pot and bring under cover during harsh winters in colder regions.
Whilst this Agapanthus is considered evergreen, it may loose some foliage over winter – but will fill out again in the warmer months. This is a medium sized Agapanthus, with mature clumps reaching a maximum of 0.9m when in full summer bloom.
