Description
Agapanthus Star Gazer
Agapanthus Star Gazer is a beautiful compact deciduous African Lily producing numerous large flowers striped violet-blue and white on strong upright stems above attractive green strap-like foliage. Flowering throughout summer, this eye-catching variety creates a striking star-like effect in borders, patio containers and mixed perennial plantings. Reaching around 50cm in height, it is ideal for smaller gardens where reliable colour and architectural interest are required.
Why Choose Agapanthus Star Gazer?
This distinctive variety is admired for its unusual bi-coloured flowers, featuring deep lavender-blue stripes running through paler blue and white petals. The compact habit makes it particularly suitable for patio pots and front-of-border planting, while the abundant blooms provide weeks of summer colour and attract bees and other pollinators.
Growing Agapanthus Star Gazer
For best results, plant in full sun in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Once established, plants are relatively drought tolerant and will flower reliably year after year. In colder areas, an autumn mulch can help protect the crown during winter. Good drainage is particularly important to ensure healthy growth and flowering.
Perfect for Borders and Containers
The compact growth habit and unusual flower colouring make this variety ideal for patio containers, terrace planters and sunny borders. The striped blooms combine beautifully with ornamental grasses, salvias, lavender and other summer-flowering perennials, creating colourful displays that last well into the season.
Care and Maintenance
Remove faded flower stems after flowering to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage strong growth. Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to support healthy foliage and abundant blooms. With minimal maintenance, this attractive perennial will provide years of dependable garden performance.
