ABSTRACT

Plant Description Native to southern Africa, the agapanthus lily is a vigorous perennial in mild climates, and has gained popularity as a potted houseplant in cold climates. Long, arching, strap-shaped leaves are produced from short rhizomes with fleshy roots. Flowers are produced in umbels on tall stems and come in various shades of blue, and occasionally white. Numerous cultivars of this lily are available commercially (Figures 25 and 26).
