Agapanthus Ever Sapphire (African Lily)

Flowering earlier than most varieties, Agapanthus Ever Sapphire (African Lily) is a dwarf, clump-forming, evergreen herbaceous perennial boasting loose clusters of deep blue flowers over a long season. Starting flowering in late spring, it reblooms throughout the summer for a long-lasting display. The ravishing blossoms sit atop slender stalks that arise from a lush clump of strap-shaped, fresh green leaves. This compact Agapanthus is very suitable for perennial borders or container planting on the balcony, terrace, or patio.

• Easy to grow, pest and disease free, this African Lily grows up to 12-24 in. tall and wide (30-60 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.
