Agapanthus africanus 'Silver Baby' - Dwarf African Lily

Agapanthus africanus 'Silver Baby' is a compact, semi-dwarf variety admired for its refined silvery-white flowers lightly brushed with pale blue. Blooming prolifically through spring and summer, the flower stems rise just above its neat clumps of evergreen foliage, creating a delicate yet resilient display ideal for modern and coastal landscapes.

This variety is exceptionally heat and drought tolerant once established, thriving in Melbourne’s sunnyconditions. Its tidy habit and subtle colouring make it perfect for garden borders, mixed beds, or decorative pots where year-round texture and summer colour are desired.
