Agapanthus praecox 'Baby Pete' pbr
'Baby Pete' pbr is a charming and compact variety of agapanthus, prized for its diminutive size and prolific flowering habit. It features slender, strap-like leaves that form neat, grassy clumps, creating a tidy and compact appearance in the garden. In summer, 'Baby Pete' produces an abundance of small, violet-blue, trumpet-shaped flowers held on sturdy stems, rising just above the foliage.
Cultural
Agapanthus can be described as ‘bulletproof’ — they are extremely hardy and will grow in most soil types and situations. They can be divided with a spade and replanted. They require little water and have minimal pest problems. However, young foliage can be tasty for snails and slugs! If necessary, apply bait as a preventive measure. To promote continuous flowering, remove spent blooms and consider pruning away old foliage near the base.
Landscape Uses
Ideal as a border plant, edging walkways, or driveways with its striking foliage and blooms, Agapanthus thrive in containers, making them a popular choice for patio gardens or balconies. Their versatility extends to mass plantings in garden beds, where they create stunning displays of color and texture.
