Agapanthus Peter Pan is a compact evergreen perennial that brings plenty of color without taking up much space. Native to South Africa, it forms neat clumps of deep green, strap-like foliage topped with clusters of rich blue flowers in summer. The blooms are a favorite of bees, butterflies, and humming birds, making this dwarf Agapanthus a great addition to pollinator-friendly gardens. Its smaller size makes it especially well suited for garden borders, patio containers, rock gardens, and mass plantings in sunny landscapes.
