Lovely summer-flowering plants, with fresh green upright strap leaves, and spherical heads of flowers. These are usually light blue, but there are darker blue and white varieties. The seed heads can sometimes be dried for winter decoration.

Agapanthus 'Silver Moon' is a very unusual and attractive variety, distinguished by its variegated leaves, each one with a broad white stripe along each side. The flowers are mid blue, paler than many varieties, and the combination of foliage and light blue flowers is excellent.
