Agapanthus nutans - 10 Seed Pack - South African Indigenous Perennial Bulb

Agapanthus nutans Seeds

Agapanthus is a genus of herbaceous perennialbulbs that mostly bloom in summer. Agapanthus is collectively commonly known as "Lily of the Nile", but it is not a lily and all of the species are indigenous to South Africa from the Cape to the Limpopo River. Species boundaries are not clear in the genus, and in spite of having been intensively studied, the number of species recognized by different authorities varies from 6 to 10. The type species for the genus is Agapanthus africanus. A great many hybrids and cultivars have been produced and they are cultivated throughout warm areas of the world. Agapanthus can be grown within plant hardiness zones 9 to 11. In lower-numbered zones, the bulbs should be placed deeper in the soil and mulched well in autumn. Agapanthus can be propagated by dividing the bulbs or by seeds. The seeds of most varieties are fertile. Agapanthus is one of South Africa’s best known garden plants and is grown in most countries in the world. Their strap-like leaves and striking blue or white flowers make them favorites in plant borders as well as in containers.

Agapanthus nutans grows to 1 meter tall. During summer it bears gorgeous blue flowers. This one does well in the shady parts of the garden .
