Agapanthus inapertus subsp. pendulus ‘Graskop’

Most often seen as a florist’s cut flower, Lily-Of-The-Nile is not difficult to grow in the garden. In mild winter areas, choose a sunny, well-drained spot and enjoy the compact head of drooping dark violet-blue flowers. The buds emerge almost black and erect, slowly elongating and becoming pendulous as they open. In colder regions, these are best grown in a pot or tub, to be wintered indoors; in late fall, put plants into a cool basement for a couple of months, bring to a sunny window in March and begin to water sparingly until growth resumes. Attractive to butterflies. Easily divided in early spring.
