Agapanthus Queen Mum

Agapanthus, also known as Agapanthus 'Queen Mum', has a long blooming period from June to August. It produces large umbels of trumpet-shaped flowers with a unique colour: a blue-violet base that fades to pure white at the tip. These flowers make a great addition to any vase and add a fresh feel to your home. The agapanthus foliage is evergreen in mild climates, adding year-round decoration to your garden. 

Agapanthus is not very hardy and can withstand temperatures up to -5°C, so it is best to plant it in a large pot on a sunny terrace to ensure abundant blooming. If you choose to plant it in the ground, planting en masse in a warm, perennial flowerbed or border is recommended. It can even be grown alone. Agapanthus is a versatile plant that can thrive in a seaside garden, an English cottage, or an urban garden. 

When mature, Agapanthus Queen Mum can reach a height of 1m (3.3 ft) and a width of 50cm (19.7 in). This perennial plant is native to South Africa and is one of the few varieties of agapanthus that bear bicolour flowers.
