Description

Agapanthus praecox ‘Zambezi’ is a truly distinctive African Lily, prized as much for its variegated gold-green foliage as its flowers. Forming a tall, clump-growing evergreen plant to around 90cm, it features broad, arching strap-like leaves richly streaked with creamy yellow and edged in gold — creating year-round structure and colour. Agapanthus ‘Zambezi’ is a superb, richly coloured African Lily that delivers real impact in the summer garden. Rounded heads of trumpet-shaped purple blooms hover like bursts of fireworks, creating a contrast between the vivid flowers and golden-edged leaves, making this variety especially eye-catching. Agapanthus ‘Zambezi’ provides a long-lasting display just when borders need a fresh injection of colour. Its strong stems make it excellent for cutting, while the bold blooms contrast beautifully with ornamental grasses, salvias and other sun-loving perennials. Ideal for sunny borders, gravel gardens or large containers, this variety thrives in free-draining soil and performs particularly well in a warm, sheltered position. Once established, it is relatively low maintenance and drought tolerant, rewarding you year after year with dependable, eye-catching flowers. For gardeners seeking depth of colour, structure and reliable summer performance, Agapanthus ‘Zambezi’ is an outstanding choice. Hardy and easy to grow in free-draining soil, ‘Zambezi’ thrives in sunny borders, gravel gardens or large containers, making it ideal for smaller gardens or patio displays. The Story Behind ‘Zambezi’ This unique variety was discovered as a natural mutation, growing in South Africa, then selected and bred for its exceptional variegation and strong garden performance — combining bold foliage with reliable flowering. Carefully developed to offer both ornamental leaves and vibrant blooms, ‘Zambezi’ represents modern agapanthus breeding at its most exciting: a plant that delivers interest well beyond its flowering season. A true collector’s choice, yet wonderfully easy to grow.
