The Size of an Agapanthus Flower

Size

• Agapanthus flowers can grow up to 4 or more feet tall, depending on the species and cultivar. Purple Cloud and Storm Cloud are two of the tallest varieties. The colors of the flowers range from creamy white to deep blue and pink. The leaves can reach 12 inches in length.

Culture

• Agapanthus flowers grow best in U.S. Department of Agriculture Plant Hardiness Zones 9 through 11. They prefer a sunny location with rich, well-draining soil, although the flowers will also grow in partial shade. Too much water in the soil will cause the fleshy rhizomes to rot. Once established, they require little care.

Uses

• Agapanthus flowers make a stunning border plant, especially if planted in the back of a garden along a fence. They are also frequently used in containers. The rhizomes can be left in the ground if the temperature does not get below freezing. Otherwise, dig them out of the soil when fall arrives and store them in a dark, dry location until spring.
