Agapanthus 'Little Galaxy' PPAF
Galaxy Collection
Common Name: Lily of the Nile, African Lily
Agapanthus are typically grown in warmer zones, but Walters Gardens is pleased to introduce a collection of vigorous varieties that are hardy to zone 6! These varieties have overwintered in our heavy snow winters for the more than 7 years. They're out of this world with globular clusters that are produced on tall stems over large, rounded clumps of foliage.
About a foot shorter than 'Galaxy Blue' and a softer shade of blue, 'Little Galaxy' is a star on its own. With its proportionate compact habit and floriferous nature, you can rely on this perennial to perform. Despite its shorter habit, the globes of indigo blue flowers are just as big as its taller companions. Great for the front of the perennial border.
Agapanthus appear similar to the popular bulb Allium with their giant clusters of star shaped flowers. Where they vary is in the time of bloom, typically later in the summer, and far more numerous flower stalks per plant. These plants thrive with adequate moisture and will take center stage in the landscape while in flower.
