I remember reading a gardening magazine once and one of the feature articles was on Agapanthus. The catch cry for it was 'Always the bridesmaid, never the bride' and its so very true. Aggys (as we shorten the name to) are what I call, one of the great unkillables. In other words, they are very hardy plants once established and will reward the gardener handsomely with beautiful displays of lush green foliage and bright flowers that can be blue, white or varying shades there of. However we tend to use aggys as an edging plant or a filler. They are always there to enhance something else, never the main feature (ie, the bride). As a result, I tend to feel a bit sorry for them. One day little Aggys, you will have your chance to shine in the spotlight! one day!
