Agapanthus ‘Baby Pete’ uspp#21705

Posted in Perennials, Plant Portfolio

This baby agapanthus is exotic! Its blue and mauve bell-shaped flowers clump tightly on a compact plant. note: Baby Pete’s foliage is shorter, wider, and darker green than other selections. Another advantage? Baby Pete™ does not set viable seed, so it flowers longer than other selections – at least 25 days after fully opened. Self cleaning, there are about eight open flowers and 12 buds per inflorescence at all times. It also averages five flowering scapes per plant. This wonderfully compact perennial can be planted in gardens, on green roofs or in containers and excellent for a hedge. xericape, firescaping
