Agapanthas Flower Stock Image

There’s nothing quite as evocative of summer as a row of agapanthus in full flower. For those who don’t know aggies, they’re those blue or sometimes white long-stemmed lilies bursting into bloom in gardens everywhere. You’ll even spot them in roundabout plantings. Agapanthus plants are an excellent choice for landscaping around the pool or to edge a driveway or fence line. The commonly grown agapanthus form clumps up to a metre across and plants in flower can be a metre or more tall. For smaller areas, and for pots, there are dwarf and miniature agapanthus varieties that only grow to 45cm high in flower. These smaller varieties are also a great choice to edge a garden bed.
