Agapanthus carry rounded umbels of narrow trumpet flowers on tall, bare stems above fountains of strap-shaped leaves, flowering from midsummer in clear blues, violets and white. Most are hardy and die down over winter, while the evergreen kinds are more tender and generally need the shelter of a cool greenhouse from early winter until spring. They flower only where there is sun — in shade they sulk — and they take as well to a large container as to open ground.
