| Botanical Name | Agapanthus africanus 'Blue' |
| Description | An architectural staple for Willis and Houston gardens, the 3-gallon Blue Agapanthus provides immediate height and texture. This reliable perennial produces large, rounded clusters of sky-blue flowers that tower over thick clumps of evergreen, strap-like foliage. While it is quite heat-hardy, it appreciates some protection from the blistering Houston afternoon sun. For success in our local clay, ensure it is planted in a raised bed or well-drained area; it needs to stay out of standing water during our heavy Southeast Texas rain events. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade (Protect from harsh afternoon Houston sun for best foliage color) |
| Height x Width | 2-3 ft. Tall x 2-3 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; prefers regular watering during the heat of summer but must have sharp drainage to avoid root issues. |
| Zones | 8 - 11 (Reliable perennial throughout Southeast Texas) |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again in early summer to support its mid-summer bloom cycle. |
| Pruning | Remove spent flower stalks at the base once the blue globes have faded. Clear away any yellowed or freeze-damaged leaves in late winter. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
