Agapanthus ‘Ever White’, also known as Agapanthus ‘Wp001’ (PBR) and Agapanthus Bingo White, is a compact African lily prized for its masses of pure white flowers. Throughout summer, multiple upright stems rise above neat clumps of foliage, each carrying rounded clusters of elegant trumpet-shaped blooms.
Its semi-dwarf habit makes it an excellent choice for patio containers, smaller gardens and the front of sunny borders. The clean white flowers brighten planting schemes and combine beautifully with both vibrant and pastel-coloured companions.
Easy to grow and long-flowering, Agapanthus ‘Ever White’ delivers reliable summer colour with minimal maintenance.
