| Agapanthus
praecox (Agapanthus) is a very common garden plant that has
become established on or near old house sites and gardens. Although
its status as being truly naturalised is unclear at present, its
extreme hardiness and vigour make it a likely candidate as a future
environmental weed. It has thick rhizomes that can withstand
extreme drought and still resprout. The flowers are white to blue
and occur in umbels. The leaves strap-like and occur in two rows at
the very base of the stem. They are somewhat fleshy, typically 2-3
cm wide and up to about 60cm long. They have a rounded tip. |
