Lily of the nile is a natural show-off and a must for the container garden

Summer bulbs are natural show-offs and agapanthus is no exception. Found along the Nile, it is definitely exotic and a must for the container garden. Each bulb produces a low whorl of lanky leaves and 15 to 50 tall stems topped by masses of blue or white florets mid-summer through to fall. Plant one to three bulbs per large container and grow in full sun. Store in your greenhouse or garage through the winter.
