Agapanthus ‘Gayle’s Lilac’

A graceful African lily producing soft lilac to lavender-pink, trumpet-shaped flowers arranged in rounded umbels atop tall, slender stems. ‘Gayle’s Lilac’ has a more delicate, romantic colour palette than many agapanthus, adding a lighter touch to sunny borders and containers.
