Agapanthus Lapis Lazuli A long-flowering, dwarf agapanthus from New Zealand, Agapanthus Lapis Lazuli is a clump-forming, evergreen to semi-evergreen perennial, ideal for the small garden. Long, strap-shaped leaves form a tight clump, and will be evergreen in mild areas. In July and August, and into September, big heads of bright blue, tubular flowers, each with a deeper blue stripe, rise above the clump of leaves; the flowers are pollen- and nectar-rich and very attractive to bees. Agapanthus Lapis Lazuli also does very well in containers – a row of them in identical pots looks lovely in front of a house. May need winter protection in colder areas. Dead-head to prolong flowering.
