Agapanthus Baby Pete 140MM

Agapanthus praecox ssp. orientalis 'Baby Pete'

I am Agapanthus Baby Pete. My family originated from South Africa.

Habit Strappy - Favourite Dwarf Agapanthus

Plant family Amaryllidaceae

I am a unique compact early blooming dwarf agapanthus producing masses of blue flowers to 450cm that sit proud above clusters of short, wide evergreen foliage to 20cm. Rarely setting seed makes me less weedy than many agapanthus and also results in me having a longer bloom period. I am particularly hardy to extremes of temperature and dry conditions. I am adaptable equally as happy growing in a pot or other container as I am in the garden. I am great choice for borders and along paths. I make a real statement mass planted. I require almost no maintenance but my appearance can be improved but removing my spent blooms at the base before the brown off.

Caution: Harmful if eaten. Skin and eye irritant.

I am popular and will make you happy because...

I am a dwarf form with sky blue flowers throughout the warmer months ideal in garden edges, borders & rockeries

Hardy and adaptable I am just as happy garden planted or in a pot, a great way to brighten paved areas

I am a sterile variety with no seed set to cause environmental issues
