Agapanthus Queen Mum

Agapanthus Queen Mum Details

Agapanthus orientalis Queen Mum produces large and showy clusters of white flowers with a dark centre off slender stems through summer. The dark green, strap like foliage provides a lovely backdrop to the flowers. This herbaceous perennial grows as a tidy clump to about 60 cm tall and the same wide, growing best in full sun on a well-drained site. It tends to be more compact on marginal soil conditions and will tolerate frost, cool climates, dry periods, and coastal conditions. Agapanthus Queen Mum is a versatile plant that can be used as a low maintenance option on drier sites or in situations with poor soil conditions such as a clay bank. It is also ideal for including in borders or mixed plantings, mass planting as a groundcover, adding to a cottage garden, or simply grown in a container. The most stunning displays with this plant are achieved when it is mass planted.
