Agapanthus africanus ? An Essential Perennial For A Mild Winter Climate Garden
Agapanthus is one of the loveliest and easy to grow perennials available to the gardener in a dry, Mediterranean climate. Used in a certain way, it can be stunningly exciting as well.
Agapanthus africanus is an evergreen perennial that is ideally suited to an herbaceous border in a Mediterranean and mild winter climate. Although its flowering period is brief, the plant looks good virtually all the year round. This makes it especially useful as a bedding plant, as it provides some stability between the annuals that have to be frequently replaced, and those perennials that require cutting down every so often.
