Agapanthus ‘Silver Baby’

  • Why we like this plant

    Silver Baby is perfect if you're short on space but big on style. With its dreamy, two-toned flowers and compact habit, it’s a subtle yet elegant addition to sunny patios, cottage gardens, or even window boxes. It brings all the allure of agapanthus but in a daintier, more refined package. Bonus: bees absolutely love it.

  • About this plant

    Agapanthus ‘Silver Baby’ is a charming dwarf variety that produces elegant, bi-coloured blooms—white petals edged with pale blue—that shimmer gently in the summer sun. Despite its compact size, this delicate cultivar makes a big impression in borders, rock gardens, and containers. It flowers reliably over a long summer season and is especially suited to smaller spaces or as a front-of-border feature. Lightly scented and highly attractive to pollinators, it’s as practical as it is pretty.

Planting guide

Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny spot in spring. Add grit for drainage, especially in containers. Water during dry spells and feed during the growing season to maximise flower production.

Care tips

Water consistently during the growing season and feed monthly with a potash-rich fertiliser. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. Shelter during cold snaps.

Winter care

Provide a mulch in autumn or move containers to a sheltered spot. Protect from prolonged frost, particularly in colder regions.
