Similar to typical Agapanthus praecox but with slender stemmed inflorescence bearing large rounded clusters of white flowers during late spring and summer. Plant in full sun to light shade and give occasional irrigation. Good for massing as a groundcover or used individually as an accent plant. Hardy to about 20-25 degrees F. A great white Agapanthus selection that comes true from seed. This plant is listed in Wim Snoeijer's book Agapanthus: a Revision of the Genus as a hybrid rather than as a variant of A. praecox ssp. orientalis but we originally received the seed of this plant as a white Agapanthus praecox ssp orientalis and since it comes true from seed and is not a single vegetatively reproduced plant, we continue to list it as this species.  This description is based on research and observations of this plant as it grows in our nursery, in our nursery garden and in other gardens that we visit. We also incorporate comments received and appreciate getting feedback of any kind from those who have any additional information about this plant, particularly if they disagree with what we have written or if they have additional cultural tips that would aid others in growing Agapanthus 'Getty White'.
