Agapanthus, often referred to as "Lily of the Nile" is a versatile, easy to grow plant for warm winter areas. Hardy agapanthus grow 8"-11" in sunny or partially sunny areas, are drought tolerant and require low maintenance. The fast growing varieties are Snow storm and Blue storm agapanthus. The storm series of agapanthus are compact and very easy to care.

Agapanthus make great easy care container plants all their own.
The thick moisture retentive foliage of agapanthus makes the plant effective as fire retardant borders and are often used in firescaping.

Brilliant whiter snow storm blossoms help all the other garden colors to pop!
Even when they are not in bloom, the lush tufts of dense strappy leaves adds flair to any landscape.

Brilliant blue blossoms on Blue Storm agapanthus.
These versatile landscape and container plants are also great as cut flowers, either on their own or mixed in arrangements.

Even after the blossoms have passed, blue Storm stems are great in flower arrangements.
