Agapanthus ‘Dr. Brouwer’

A robust and elegant African lily producing large, deep violet-blue, trumpet-shaped flowers held in generous rounded umbels on tall, strong stems. ‘Dr. Brouwer’ is known for its reliability and long-lasting summer display, bringing bold colour and structure to warm, sunny planting schemes.
