African Lily 'Arctic Star', Lily of the Nile 'Arctic Star'
Noted for its hardiness and vigorous growth, Agapanthus ‘Arctic Star’ (African Lily) is a clump-forming perennial boasting large rounded clusters of trumpet-shaped, pure white flowers on sturdy, upright stalks atop beautiful, semi-evergreen, gray-green, strap-shaped leaves. Brightening up the garden for weeks, this elegant Agapanthus cultivar does not fade as it matures and its foliage mound remains attractive, even when the plant is not in bloom. Remarkably resilient, ‘Arctic Star’ is one of the hardiest white Agapanthus and can survive temperatures well below freezing. It is also one of the earliest to bloom (end of June or early July).
