Agapanthus blanche
Category photo (no photo of its own for this entry)
This catalogue entry designates a white-flowered form of Agapanthus, a South African genus of rhizomatous evergreen perennials with strap-shaped leaves. Among the cultivated species (A. africanus, A. praecox), white forms such as 'Albus' produce, in summer, a sturdy scape topped by a dense, spherical umbel of pure white, funnel-shaped flowers, replacing the genus's typical blue. Native to the coastal and mountainous regions of southern Africa, these plants prefer full sun and free-draining soil, tolerating moderate summer drought once established. The exact identity of this white-flowered accession remains uncertain.
