Agapanthus are one of South Africa's best known garden plants and are grown in most countries in the world. Their strap-like leaves and striking blue or white flowers make them favourites in plant borders as well as in containers. Agapanthus africanus was the first Agapanthus species collected in South Africa and was described in 1679 by the name Hyacinthus Africanus tuberosus, flore caeruleo umbellato. Plants were grown in containers in conservatories and flowered in Europe in the late seventeenth century. Sometimes Agapanthus africanus is still referred to as Agapanthus umbellatus and many laypersons as well as nurserymen confuse Agapanthus africanus with Agapanthus praecox, which is a popular, easily grown species. Any Agapanthus referred to as 'africanus' in the nursery trade is almost certainly Agapanthus praecox.
Agapanthus africanus subsp. africanus is found only in the Western Cape Province, which is a winter rainfall area. The plants grow from the Cape Peninsula to Swellendam, from sea level up to 1000 metres, mainly in mountainous terrain in acidic sandy soil. They often grow between rocks and even in depressions on sheets of sandstone rock. The plants will not tolerate freezing weather for any length of time.
