Agapanthus praecox orientalis 'Snowball'
‘Snowball‘ is a striking, clump-forming perennial with lush, strappy green foliage. In summer, it produces rounded clusters of pure white, trumpet-shaped flowers held on sturdy, upright stems above the compact foliage. Its elegant blooms contrast beautifully with the deep green leaves.

Seasonal Interest:
Summer flowering.
Landscape Uses
