Agapanthus spp. is one of the most commonly used commercial landscape plants because it is really hardy, doesn't have many pests, does well in poor soils, and doesn't need much water once established. The flowers rise from the smooth basal leaves on stalks that can reach up to 4 or 5 feet tall and come in colors ranging from periwinkle to indigo and ivory. Hummingbirds and butterflies visit the flowers regularly. They can bloom all year long in some of the warmer areas of California and make such a magical statement when planted in groups or swaths. The flowers make a great statement in floral arrangements as well and the flowers are one of the longer lasting in cut flower arrangements.
