Baby Pete™ Agapanthus

Agapanthus praecox ssp. orientalis 'Benfran' PP #21,705

SKU
09957
This unique compact variety blooms weeks earlier than others! Masses of blue flower clusters on upright stems rise just above clumps of short and wide, strap-like, green leaves. Rarely sets seed pods, resulting in a longer bloom period. Splendid along pathways, or in groupings and mixed containers. Evergreen.
