Agapanthus 'Rancho White' (Dwarf White Agapanthus) - This dwarf Agapanthus has foliage that only reaches 1 foot tall with narrower leaves than typical Agapanthus. It is vary similar in stature as the cultivar 'Peter Pan', but has white flowers. It is semi-deciduous in that it is more likely to drop its leaves in cooler temperature than the larger A. orientalis varieties. We have long grown this plant under this name but note that in the 1980's this cultivar was considered to be confused in the trade and was also called 'Peter Pan 'White' - See more about this in our listing for Agapanthus 'Henderson's White'. Sun/Light Shade. Low watering needs, but looks better with moderate water. Hardy and nearly evergreen to about 20-25 degrees F.  The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery and in our own and other Santa Barbara gardens. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information or disagrees with what we have written.
