Agapanthus Stargazer

Common Name: Stargazer African Lily

Description: Agapanthus 'Stargazer' is a deciduous, clump-forming perennial renowned for its striking blue flowers, each petal featuring a darker central stripe. These trumpet-shaped blooms form spherical clusters atop sturdy stems, rising above strap-shaped mid-green foliage. Flowering occurs during the summer months, adding vibrant colour to gardens. This variety thrives in Melbourne's climate, preferring full sun and well-drained soil. It's an excellent choice for borders, containers, and mass plantings, offering both aesthetic appeal and resilience. Regular watering during dry periods will promote optimal growth and flowering.
