Through the years I've tried just about everyone for bulbs but A.D.R. is tops. It's a family run business and the service levels and expertise are as good as the product they sell. My clients rave about the results we get with A.D.R. and that makes me happy.

Agapanthus 'Africanus' (Ships in Spring)

Lily of the Nile

Agapanthus africanus, or African Lily, is a compact, evergreen perennial with trumpet-shaped blue flowers that bloom in early to mid-summer. The flower clusters rise on sturdy stalks, reaching 18 to 30 inches tall, while the individual blooms measure about 2 inches across. Its strap-like green foliage stays attractive year-round. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it prefers well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant once established. Ideal for small gardens and containers, it resists deer and rabbits while attracting pollinators. Suitable for USDA zones 8-11.
