Agapanthus ‘Ever White’ – Repeat-Flowering African Lily with Elegant White Blooms
Agapanthus ‘Ever White’ is a compact and free-flowering African Lily, valued for its clean white blooms and extended flowering season. Unlike many traditional varieties, it flowers repeatedly from early summer through to late summer, providing reliable colour over many weeks.
The rounded flower heads are held on sturdy upright stems above neat clumps of strap-like green foliage, creating a crisp and structured display. Its manageable size makes it particularly well suited to containers, patio planting, and the front of sunny borders.
Highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, ‘Ever White’ brings both beauty and wildlife interest to the garden. Its pure white flowers combine effortlessly with a wide range of planting styles, from contemporary schemes to soft cottage planting.
Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, this agapanthus performs best in a warm, sheltered position. It is especially effective when grown in containers, allowing it to be protected in colder conditions if required.
Fresh, elegant, and long-flowering, Agapanthus ‘Ever White’ is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking reliable summer colour with a refined look.
