Often used for massed planting to define a path or road as it has a very regular form. The leaves are iris-like and green in colour. Flowers range from violet to blue to white in colour and are borne in winter and spring extending into summer. Agapanthus grows between about 70cm to 100cm high. This is not a declared weed in Australia but has weed potential in NSW, Victoria and SA. It is very tough and should be planted with care. Seed capsules should be removed if concerned about weed potential.
