Agapanthus Starquality

Common Name: Star Quality African Lily

Description: Agapanthus 'Star Quality' is a compact, deciduous perennial admired for its spherical clusters of mauve-blue flowers, each petal adorned with deep-colored stripes. These vibrant blooms emerge from midsummer to autumn, rising above neat, strap-like green foliage that forms a tidy dome. Reaching approximately 50 cm in height, this variety thrives in full sun and moist, well-drained soils. In Melbourne's climate, it performs exceptionally well, adding a splash of color to garden beds, borders, and containers. Applying an autumn mulch can help protect the crown during cooler months.
