Variety Profile
A superb, compact agapanthus producing a lengthy display from early summer of silvery-white flowers with subtle ice blue edging. A particularly hardy and easy to grow perennial for all kinds of general garden use as well as for small gardens or container displays. Very dry tolerant making it ideal for difficult sites or low maintenance gardens.
Agapanthus are hardy predominently evergreen perennials originating from South Africa and as such are well suited to similar conditions found around Australia.

Cultural Care
Select a sunny location in most soil types given that it is well draining. No pruning is required although removing spent flowers increases further production. Hardy and dry tolerant once established. An addition of a slow release fertiliser during spring would be beneficial to overall performance.

Plant Uses
Well suited to containers, gravel gardens, mass planting, mixed perennial borders and water wise landscaping.
Plant Partners: Plants which require similar growing conditions which are also complementary include: Daylilies, Salvias, Gauras, Lavenders, Irises, Succulents, Yuccas, Phormium, Acanthus
Colour Schemes: A 'Silver Baby' has predominently white flowers and as such can be incorporated into any colour scheme. As it flowers through the warmer months it is particularly refreshing to adapt a 'cooler' scheme including blues and purples with perhaps a little yellow added for some drama. You are certainly not limited to any range with this one, however, so let your creativity flow!
