Agapanthus Arctic Star 10 Litre Pot

Agapanthus ‘Arctic Star’ – Elegant White African Lily with Strong Summer Impact

Agapanthus ‘Arctic Star’ is a striking evergreen perennial, admired for its large rounded heads of pure white trumpet-shaped flowers carried on sturdy upright stems above clumps of strap-like green foliage. Flowering through summer, it brings a clean, elegant look to borders and patio displays.

The bright white blooms create excellent contrast against the rich green leaves and stand out beautifully in both contemporary and Mediterranean-style planting schemes. Its compact yet upright habit makes it especially suitable for containers and smaller garden spaces where strong seasonal colour and structure are desired.

Flower stems rise proudly above the foliage, creating height and movement without appearing heavy, while the evergreen leaves provide year-round texture and architectural form.

Thriving in full sun, ‘Arctic Star’ prefers fertile, well-drained soil and performs particularly well in warm, sheltered positions. Once established, it is relatively drought tolerant and easy to maintain.

Ideal for patios, borders, and gravel gardens, it combines beautifully with grasses, lavender, and other sun-loving perennials.

Elegant, floriferous, and highly architectural, Agapanthus ‘Arctic Star’ is an excellent choice for adding crisp summer colour and evergreen structure to the garden.
