White Agapanthus Varieties
Clianthus puniceus Alba (White Kaka Beak)
Clianthus puniceus Alba, commonly known as White Kakabeak, is a NZ native shrub that produces a flush of stunning, beak like flowers in summer. The showy, white flowers are produced in abundance and are contrasted wonderfully with mid-green foliage as it grows to 3 m tall and 1.5 m wide. Clianthus Alba is commonly included in a mixed planting, used as a backdrop for smaller plants, grown to soften a bland wall, planted around outdoor living areas, maintained in a container, or mass planted for an impressive display.
Osmanthus Pearly Gates (Osmanthus delavayi Pearly Gates)
Osmanthus delavayi Pearly Gates produces masses of small and highly fragrant, white flowers through spring and summer, which are followed by blue-black berries. The flowers literally transform the plant, and are further accentuated with glossy green leaves as it grows to about 1.5 m tall and 2 m wide. Osmanthus Pearly Gates is commonly included in a mixed or border planting, added to “white” or cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas such as pools and barbecue areas, maintained in a container, or used anywhere the beauty and fragrance can be enjoyed.
