Agapanthus ‘Bounty White’ is a hardy, evergreen perennial that bursts into elegant clusters of pure white, trumpet-shaped flowers from late spring through mid-summer (November to January) in Cape Town’s climate. Its long flowering season and luminous blooms make it a standout choice for borders, edging, and mass plantings, while also thriving beautifully in containers. Adapted to full sun and semi-shade, it is water-wise once established and perfectly suited to the Western Cape’s dry summers and winter rainfall. With its lush green foliage providing year-round interest, this indigenous favourite is both ornamental and practical, attracting pollinators while offering effortless beauty. Whether used in modern landscapes or traditional gardens, it delivers a fresh, timeless elegance with minimal care. A garden classic, Bounty White Agapanthus brings resilience and radiance to every outdoor space.
Plant in well-drained soil and position in full sun or semi-shade for best flowering. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce as the plant becomes drought tolerant. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring to encourage lush growth and abundant blooms. Remove spent flower stalks to keep the plant tidy and promote repeat flowering. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigour and spread beauty across your garden.
Agapanthus is proudly indigenous to South Africa and is often called the “Lily of the Nile,” even though it doesn’t grow near the Nile at all, it’s celebrated worldwide for its toughness and dazzling summer display.
