    Probably the best Agapanthus availabe on the market.
    Very rapid grower- a single plant can be divided into hunderds within 3 years. Moreover, it flowers like crazy (10 flower stalks on a single, one year old plant, are not uncommon), takes light frost like a champ, and stays evergreen in warmer climates.
    May flower for 3-5 months, from late winter to midsummer, in zone 10.
