Agapanthus ‘Little White Bird’

AggieLWB_5886

A variegated lily of the Nile, Agapanthus ‘Little White Bird’ will mingle with Purple Three Awn (Aristida purpurea). The flowers are supposed to grow up to around three feet tall, so the base will be a mix of the grass and the Agapanthus, while the aggie’s flowers will float above the purplish flower heads of the aristida. Should be an interesting show. If not, we’ll move things around and try something else. The mix of agapanthus, often maligned as overused, and ornamental grasses creates a fresh look contrasting the solid flowers against the feathery grasses.
