Lovely summer-flowering plants, with fresh green upright strap leaves, and spherical heads of flowers. These are usually light blue, but there are darker blue and white varieties. The seed heads can sometimes be dried for winter decoration.

Agapanthus campanulatus is fully hardy, but will appreciate a winter mulch. A vigorous clump-former with narrow leaves. The pale to dark blue bell-flowers are produced in spherical umbels in summer.
