Gorgeous blue flowers are tough as nails! Lily of the Nile (Agapanthus africanus) In Southern California and the Coastal South, these beauties bloom year-round and can even remain semi-evergreen throughout mild winters! The big round umbles shoot up each summer like fireworks of cornflower blue trumpets and announce their arrival to every bee, butterfly, and Hummingbird around!
If you live in zone 8-10 you are probably well-versed in Lily-of-the-Nile, also known as African Lilies, as they are such easy to grow and resilient plants that they are ubiquitous in strip malls, parking lots, and municipal buildings everywhere. They are so elegant and striking you can find them in landscapes from urban apartment complexes to posh Rodeo Drive and Worth Avenue retailers! The blooms are showy, especially while backed by that fringe of vertical growing clumps of strappy greenery!
Hardy to the n-th degree, Agapanthus is truly a ‘plant-it-and-forget-it’ flowering perennial bulb! It will reward you with an overabundance of flowers all year round, but especially in the spring and summer. Not to worry, though, if you live anywhere north of USDA growing zone 8. Agapanthus make great potted plants for summer accents and décor. You just need to bring them indoors in the coldest months. Either way, these require very little in the way of maintenance!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Agapanthus is a summer-flowering bulb that flowers best full sun and appreciates afternoon shade in the warmer growing zones. Provide consistent moisture in a deep, enriched and well-drained environment for best results. These bulbs will rot in excessive water so ensure containers and planters have good drainage. Prune back foliage once it yellows and dig bulbs up in colder growing zones and bring them indoors for the winter as you would Elephant Ear or Calla Lily.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Any Well-Drained Soil Type
- Moist Enriched Environments
- Clean Mounds After Foliage Yellows & Lift Bulbs in Cold Zones
