Agapanthus africanus Twister

Agapanthus ‘Twister’ is a truly eye-catching variety of African lily, known for its distinctive bi-coloured blooms that bring a fresh, modern twist to traditional garden designs. With its crisp white petals elegantly flushed with deep blue at the base, this standout perennial adds elegance, structure, and long-lasting summer colour to Irish gardens.

Growing to a height of around 60–80cm, Agapanthus ‘Twister’ produces upright stems topped with rounded umbels of star-shaped flowers from mid to late summer. Its compact form and dramatic colouring make it ideal for borders, gravel gardens, or statement containers on patios and balconies.

This variety thrives in well-drained soil and enjoys a sunny or partially shaded position. It is drought-tolerant once established and well-suited to Ireland’s milder coastal areas, though in colder inland regions, it benefits from some winter protection or container growing for easy movement.
