Agapanthus ‘Blue Heaven’ (African Lily)

Blooming perpetually through the entire season, Agapanthus ‘Blue Heaven’ (African Lily) is an upright clump-forming perennial with profuse rounded clusters packed with up to 80 dark violet-blue flowers. Blooming from mid-summer to early fall, they rise on stiff, upright stalks atop the foliage of large, evergreen, strap-shaped leaves. This reblooming African Lily is suitable for cut flowers, and as a container or landscape plant.

• Easy to grow, pest and disease free, this African Lily grows from bulb-like rhizomes up to 36 in. high (90 cm) and 30 in. wide (75 cm).
• Thrives in full sun in fertile, moist, and well-drained soil. In a hot climate area, Agapanthus will do better in partial shade. Bear in mind that most varieties will lean toward the sun, which makes a south-facing border the best location. Do not allow plants to dry out except when dormant.
• Spectacular when planted in great swathes, this Agapanthus fits most garden settings or mixed borders, makes a fantastic accent plant in containers, and has excellent cut flowers! A great choice for coastal areas as African Lilies cope well with windy and salty air.
• Deer and rabbit resistant, it attracts butterflies, bees, and birds.
• In late fall remove or tidy up any remaining leaves, but seedheads can be left as they look attractive over winter.
• Propagate by division every three to four years in spring.
• Agapanthus is native to Southern Africa.
• African Lilies are poisonous and should not be consumed by humans and pets.
