Agapanthus ‘Star Quality’
Lily-of-the-Nile |
USDA Zone: 7-9 |
Plant number: 1.025.720
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 bright blue flowers featuring a darker centre stripe throughout the summer. This variety has exceptionally strong stems. 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.
