Agapanthus, also known as the African Lily, is a useful and versatile plant for any garden. While some species may be more tender, the Headbourne hybrids are generally tough and behave more like herbaceous perennials. The larger-leaved varieties are better suited for coastal areas, while the narrower-leaved ones are hardier.

This plant can thrive in any soil type, as long as it is well-drained and receives plenty of sunlight. It is not a particularly hungry plant, but it will benefit from a feed in late spring and up to flowering. To encourage healthy leaves and flower buds, restrict the root growth by keeping the plant root-bound in a pot.

Agapanthus Big Blue produces rounded flower heads with a slight umbrella shape, ranging in colour from white to light blue, dark blue, and even purple. After the flowers have gone, large black seeds will develop in their place. To prolong the flowering period, trim the stems back to the foliage once they have finished blooming.
