Description

Agapanthus praecox 'Snowball' is a compact, clump-forming perennial prized for its abundant clusters of pure white, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in early summer (Birak) and continue into late summer (Bunuru). Reaching a height and spread of approximately 30–45 cm, it is ideal for borders, containers, and mass plantings. The plant features upright, strap-like dark green leaves that provide an attractive backdrop to its floral display. 'Snowball' thrives in full sun to part shade positions and is well-suited to Perth's climate, offering a long-lasting and elegant presence in the garden.

For optimal growth, plant 'Snowball' in fertile, moist, well-drained soil. While it is drought-tolerant once established, regular watering during prolonged dry periods will promote vigorous flowering. Deadheading spent blooms can encourage a longer flowering period, and dividing the clumps every few years will maintain plant health and performance. This variety is also suitable for pot cultivation, allowing flexibility in garden design and placement.
