Agapanthus 'Peter Pan'

Agapanthus ‘Peter Pan’

A compact African lily with beautiful sky-blue flower clusters, perfect for adding a touch of elegance to sunny borders and containers.

Rounded heads of soft sky-blue trumpet flowers sit proudly on sturdy stems above neat clumps of strap-like green foliage. Flowering through mid to late summer, the blooms create a bold yet graceful display and are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators. Its compact habit makes it ideal for smaller gardens or the front of sunny borders where the flowers can be fully appreciated.

Agapanthus ‘Peter Pan’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and performs especially well in containers where its roots can be slightly restricted. It forms tidy clumps that return each year and gradually become more floriferous as they establish. Perfect for patios, gravel gardens and Mediterranean-style planting schemes.

Ideal Companion Plants from The Green Standard Range

• Verbena bonariensis, airy purple flower heads that rise above the agapanthus for a light, natural look

• Nepeta ‘Six Hills Giant’, soft blue tones and relaxed growth that complement the structured flower heads

• Erigeron ‘Lavender Lady’, clouds of small daisies that soften the planting around the base

• Salvia ‘Nachtvlinder’, deep violet spikes that add height and dramatic colour contrast

🌟 The Green Standard Tip
Agapanthus often flower best when their roots are slightly restricted. Growing them in pots or fairly tight clumps can actually encourage more flowers.
