Notes
'Silver Moon' lily-of-the-nile (Agapanthus 'Silver Moon') is a perennial for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Blue flowers open from early to late summer and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The compact habit suits a small garden.
Pairs well with Butterfly milkweed, Alcazar red-hot poker, and Russian sage.
