The Agapanthus 'Intermedius', also known as the African Lily, is a beautiful and versatile plant that holds many interesting characteristics. With its pointed and acute leaf tips, entire leaf margins, and foliage leaf type, it adds an aesthetic appeal to any garden or landscape.

However, it is important to note that it has limited winter hardness, specifically in USDA-zone 8. This means that it may require extra protection or care during colder months to ensure its survival.

The Agapanthus 'Intermedius' boasts stunning flower colors, ranging from blue to light violet blue. Its inflorescence is multi-flowered, creating a breathtaking display of blossoms. The plant itself can reach a height between 80 and 90 cm, making it a compact and manageable addition to any garden.

In terms of structure, the Agapanthus 'Intermedius' is considered herbaceous. This means that its tissues are soft and flexible, allowing for growth and movement. The plant's leaves are sizable, measuring between 30 and 40 cm, and require sunny light conditions to thrive. They are simple in division, meaning they are not deeply lobed or divided.

The growth type of the Agapanthus 'Intermedius' is erect, adding a vertical element to its overall appearance. The flower color distribution is bicolored, which adds an extra layer of visual interest to its blooms.

It is worth noting that the Agapanthus 'Intermedius' is fairly toxic if consumed. Therefore, it is important to keep it out of reach of children and pets.

Lastly, this African Lily requires well-drained soil and moderate moisture levels. Overwatering should be avoided, as it can lead to root rot and other issues. Regular watering during dry periods is recommended to keep the plant healthy and vibrant.

In conclusion, the Agapanthus 'Intermedius' is a stunning and unique addition to any garden. With its beautiful flower colors, erect growth type, and herbaceous structure, it adds visual interest and charm. However, care should be taken due to its limited winter hardness and toxicity if consumed. By providing well-drained soil and moderate moisture levels, this plant can thrive and enhance the beauty of any outdoor space.
