Notes
'Loch Hope' lily-of-the-nile (Agapanthus 'Loch Hope') is a perennial for borders, containers, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It blooms from early to late summer and draws butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds. It also tolerates salt. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
