Agapanthus africanus 'Alba' (White Flowered African Lily) is a superb plant for a sunny situation in the border or in a container. The strap-like smooth green leaves form a decorative clump in spring and summer. In July to September each of the approximately 90 cm high flower stalks is topped by cluster of pure white trumpet-shaped flowers.
This plant prefers sunshine, reflecting its South African origins. It is drought resistant, although it will grow larger where adequate water is available. It can be a giant where there is abundant water and hot Mediterranean type sunshine. It is particularly suitable to growing in a container, where it is said to prefer to be root bound. So it is clearly a low maintenance plant.
