Name:
Agapanthus praecox (Lily of the Nile)
Comments:
This is a great summer-flowering bulb for Southern gardens. These tough plants have strap-like leaves and bloom all summer long with pom-pom shaped flower clusters, typically in white, blue, or purple. We don't know what color these are yet. The flowers attract hummingbirds and work well as cut flowers.
Size:
The plants can reach three feet tall and two feet wide. Can be grown in containers as well as in garden beds.
Growing conditions:
Lily of the Nile can take full sun but in Florida prefers some shade. Likewise, it’s relatively drought tolerant but performs better with regular watering.
