Brilliant Blue African Lily

An excellent dwarfing form of African Lily, Brilliant Blue features some of the deepest blue flowers of any Agapanthus we’ve seen. A very easy one to grow in pots and also in borders where temperatures don’t drop below 15°F. Mostly deciduous in winter and should be hardy for us here in the Northwest if given a good winter mulch.

Hardiness: 15º Fahrenheit
Size at Maturity: 1-2′ high by 1-2′ feet wide

Northern Star African Lily

Likely the hardiest of any Agapanthus selection, Northern Star venturing all the way to USDA Zone 6! Very impressive for this beauty from South Africa that sports deep blue flowers above the strappy green foliage. Flowers at a young age from midsummer well into the fall. A great way to add a splash of color to the garden at a time of year when they often fade in our dry summers. Drought tolerant but also will take a good bit of summer water.

Latin Name: Agapanthus ‘Northern Star’
Site and Soil: Prefers well draining soils in full sun. Drought tolerant once established.
Hardiness: -5º Fahrenheit
Size at Maturity: 2-3′ high by 2-3 feet wide
Bloom Time: July through October, and sometimes even later
Pests & Diseases: None
USDA Zone: 6b

Indigo Frost African Lily

A superb two-toned African lily with a bright purplish blue on the throat of the flower that transitions to bright white at the edge of the petals. Indigo Frost has a striking effect when the multitudes of flowers are in bloom for a long period during spring and then sporadically throughout the summer. Fairly compact, super floriferous and mostly deciduous, so don’t be disheartened if they look a little pitiful in the fall.

Latin Name: Agapanthus x ‘Indigo Frost’
Site and Soil: Prefers well draining soils in full sun. Drought tolerant once established.
Hardiness: 5-10º Fahrenheit
Size at Maturity: 1-2′ high by 2-3 feet wide
Bloom Time: March through May, and sporadically through summer into fall
Pests & Diseases: None
USDA Zone: 7b
