Agapanthus

I grow the large blue flowering Agapanthus at the top of the driveway border, where they are nearly underneath a large gum tree. The soil there is quite dry and yet these plants seem to do well. I love their clear green foliage.

Of course Agapanthus in flower is a beautiful sight. A bright pink Flower Carpet rose keeps my Agapanthus company but unfortunately the two don't get their flowering times to coincide.

Agapanthus have very nice foliage. Their long mid to dark green strappy leaves are used in my garden to contrast with round-leafed neighbours. That's why I've included them in this section.
