Queen Anne Agapanthus is a plant I really like. You can tuck this easy care perennial in between other broad leafed evergreens for a nice texture change, filling those areas that are too large to leave alone, yet not quite big enough for a larger plant. Agapanthus, or Lily of the Nile are an excellent choice for rock gardens, especially when mixed with hardy perennials with their own splash of color, in addition to shinny leafed evergreens in the back ground. Agapanthus bloom late spring into early summer, a time of year when the big show of spring bloomers has finishes and your yard is hungry for some color. The blue flower stalks are held high above the foliage so the show can easily be enjoyed. Foliage to about 18 inches tall by about two feet wide. Just cut back spent blooms when finished. Average soil and water. Hardy to USDA zone 8 and all higher zones. Can take full sun, but avoid extremely hot areas with lots of reflected heat.
