They sit atop slender stalks that arise from a neat clump of strap-shaped, fresh green leaves. This exquisite dwarf Agapanthus is very suitable for perennial borders or container planting on the balcony, terrace, or patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgapanthus 'Fireworks' is an easy-to-maintain variety that boasts big, exotic-looking, two-tone flowers that won't fade in colour. This wonderful African Lily is also tougher than other agapanthus varieties - its evergreen foliage can withstand winter temperatures of -10C - and as a hardy perennial, it will come back each year, looking bigger and better each time. Agapanthus 'Fireworks' will look as good planted in drifts in a border as in pots on the patio where its contemporary elegance can be appreciated at close range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecipient of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society.\u003cbr\u003eBloom time is variable, depending on the local climate and water availability, but this plant usually blooms from mid to late summer.\u003cbr\u003eEasy to grow, pest and disease free, this African Lily grows up to 24 in. tall (60 cm) and 20 in. wide (50 cm).\u003cbr\u003eThrives in full sun in fertile, moist, and well-drained soil. In a hot climate area, Agapanthus will do better in partial shade. Bear in mind that most varieties will lean toward the sun, which makes a south-facing border the best location. Do not allow plants to dry out except when dormant.\u003cbr\u003eSpectacular when planted in great swathes, this Agapanthus fits most garden settings or mixed borders, makes a fantastic accent plant in containers, and has excellent cut flowers! A great choice for coastal areas as African Lilies cope well with windy and salty air.\u003cbr\u003eDeer and rabbit resistant, it attracts butterflies, bees, and birds.\u003cbr\u003eIn late fall remove or tidy up any remaining leaves, but seedheads can be left as they look attractive over winter.\u003cbr\u003ePropagate by division every three to four years in spring.\u003cbr\u003eAgapanthus is native to Southern Africa.\u003cbr\u003eAfrican Lilies are poisonous and should not be consumed by humans and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seedsplant","offers":[{"title":"30 Seeds","offer_id":51783080771901,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Seeds","offer_id":51783080804669,"sku":null,"price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Seeds","offer_id":51783080837437,"sku":null,"price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200 Seeds","offer_id":51783080870205,"sku":null,"price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0107\/1487\/3956\/files\/6391ace427ade714b70fb966024ae804_b4ae783d-3c9f-409f-9645-1c25e17002eb.jpg?v=1780368441","url":"https:\/\/seedsplant.com\/products\/agapanthus-africanus-black-buddhist","provider":"Seedsplant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
