Agapanthus africanus, also known as Lily of the Nile or African Lily, this beauty has round clusters of blue-violet flowers atop stiff, upright, stalks rising above a dense mound of strap-like green leaves. Blooms in summer. Foliage mounds are attractive when plants are not in bloom. Moderately salt tolerant and prefers well drained soils.
Lily-of-the-Nile is native to South Africa (not the Nile River as the misleading common name suggests). It produces rounded clusters (umbels) of funnel-shaped blue flowers atop stiff, upright, leafless, fleshy stalks (scapes) rising above a dense mound of basal narrow, strap-shaped, linear, grass-like leaves. Blooms in summer. Evergreen foliage mounds are generally attractive when plants are not in bloom.
