African Lily Queen Anne
Agapanthus praecox Queen Anne is a neat mound forming evergreen perennial with strappy deep rich green leaves. Outstanding, brilliant blue, open bell flowers clustered in a ball on tall stems appear in June, inviting bees and butterflies into the garden. Landscapers favour African Lilies for their easy care and adaptability to various locations, tolerating both wet and dry once established and tolerant of coastal planting schemes. Agapanthus praecox Queen Anne is a good choice for pots and patio planters and a wonderful cut flower. Generally resistant to grazing deer and rabbits.
