Description
Agapanthus Twister
Agapanthus Twister is an award-winning deciduous African Lily producing spectacular bicoloured flower heads with deep blue centres fading to crisp white petal edges. Flowering freely throughout summer, this compact variety reaches approximately 70cm in height and creates a striking display above attractive green strap-like foliage. Its unique two-tone flowers bring a fresh, contemporary look to sunny borders, patio containers and mixed perennial plantings. The flowers are highly attractive to bees and butterflies, adding further value to wildlife-friendly gardens.
Why Choose Agapanthus Twister?
This exceptional variety is renowned for its prolific flowering and distinctive blue-and-white blooms. The contrasting colours create a dramatic effect that stands out from traditional agapanthus varieties. Its compact habit makes it particularly suitable for smaller gardens, balconies, terraces and patio containers, while its long flowering season ensures weeks of summer colour. Agapanthus Twister has also received the RHS Award of Garden Merit for its outstanding garden performance.
Growing Agapanthus Twister
For best results, plant in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Regular watering during establishment will encourage healthy root development and abundant flowering. Once established, plants are relatively drought tolerant and perform reliably year after year. Good drainage is essential, particularly during winter months. Deciduous varieties such as Twister are generally hardier than evergreen agapanthus and can tolerate colder conditions when well established.
Perfect for Borders and Containers
The compact size and striking flower colour make this variety ideal for patio pots, terrace planters and sunny borders. The blue and white blooms combine beautifully with ornamental grasses, salvias, lavender and other summer-flowering perennials, creating vibrant displays full of contrast and texture.
Care and Maintenance
Remove faded flower stems after flowering to keep plants looking tidy and encourage strong growth. Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to support healthy foliage and abundant blooms. With minimal maintenance, this hardy perennial will provide years of reliable garden performance.
