- Dense sky‑blue to violet‑blue flower clusters on tall, upright stalks above glossy, strap‑like foliage.
- Compact evergreen clumps: foliage about 12–15 in. tall and wide; bloom stalks to ~24 in.
- Easy‑care and waterwise once established; can rebloom if spent flower stems are removed promptly.
- Thrives in full sun to partial sun; ideal for containers, borders, and poolside edges in warm zones.
Queen Anne Agapanthus (Agapanthus africanus ‘Queen Anne’) delivers a classic Lily‑of‑the‑Nile look with uniform, blue‑violet globes held well above tidy, strap‑leaf mounds. Evergreen where hardy, it performs in full to partial sun and well‑drained soil, establishing quickly with deep watering and then tolerating brief dry spells. Perfect massed along paths or in container groupings, it brings reliable summer color and a polished, low‑maintenance accent to water‑wise landscapes.
Plant Description
Evergreen, clump‑forming perennial with narrow, strap‑like green leaves; dense blue‑violet umbels rise on upright stalks for a clean, architectural display.
Flowers & Bloom Time
Summer bloom; remove spent stems to encourage occasional rebloom and keep plantings tidy for an extended seasonal show.
Habit & Size
Foliage typically 12–15 in. tall and wide; flower scapes reach to ~24 in., maintaining balanced proportions for edging and containers.
Sun Requirements
Full sun to partial sun. In hotter inland sites, light afternoon shade can help preserve foliage quality and bloom longevity.
Water & Soil
Plant in average, well‑drained soil. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish; once established, reduce frequency—tolerates mild drought.
Hardiness
USDA Zones 8–11 (evergreen where cold‑hardy). In colder climates, grow in containers and overwinter in a frost‑free location.
Special Features
Waterwise after establishment; attracts pollinators and hummingbirds; suitable for coastal exposure; excellent cut flowers.
Landscape Uses
Border and edging, container groupings, poolside plantings, and massed ribbons for a uniform, mid‑border band of summer color.
Care & Feeding
Feed in early spring before new growth, then again after flowering. Plants bloom best when left undisturbed; divide only when clumps become overcrowded.
Spacing & Planting
Space 18–24 in. on center for a continuous edge or drift. Set crowns level with the soil surface; water to settle and mulch to conserve moisture.
Container Tips
Use a high‑quality, well‑drained potting mix in a 12–14 in. wide container. Provide full to partial sun and irrigate when the top 2–3 in. of mix are dry.
Design Notes
Pair with coneflower, coral bells, iris, shasta daisy, or dianthus to echo color and contrast textures; repeat clumps along paths for a formal, uniform look.
