| Botanical Name | Agapanthus africanus 'Peter Pan' |
| Description | A compact favorite for Willis and Houston landscapes, 'Peter Pan' is a dwarf perennial perfect for edging, walkways, and containers. It produces stunning clusters of sky-blue, lily-like flowers on stalks that rise above tidy clumps of strappy, evergreen foliage. While it thrives in the Texas heat, it appreciates a little afternoon shade during our intense Houston summers. For success in local clay, ensure it is planted in well-drained soil or a raised bed; this Agapanthus will not tolerate sitting in water during our heavy Southeast Texas rainy seasons. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade (Protect from the harshest afternoon sun in Houston) |
| Height x Width | 12-18 in. Tall x 12-18 in. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; prefers consistent moisture during the growing season but must have excellent drainage to prevent bulb rot. |
| Zones | 8 - 11 (Reliable evergreen perennial in Southeast Texas) |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer to support healthy foliage and blooming. |
| Pruning | Remove spent flower stalks at the base once the blooms have finished. Trim back any yellowed or winter-damaged leaves in early spring. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
