Dwarf blue agapanthus, commonly called Lily of the Nile, forms clumps of strap-shaped foliage and rounded blue flower heads. This listing includes approximately 25 seeds.
Important seed-grown variation: the supplier associates this seed with the compact ‘Peter Pan’ type. Named cultivars are normally kept uniform through controlled propagation, so seedlings may differ in height, flower shade, bloom form, and overall habit. Exact ‘Peter Pan’ characteristics are not guaranteed.

- Press seeds into the surface and cover lightly. Keep the mix evenly moist, never waterlogged.
