Product Details

Baby Pete Agapanthus

Agapanthus praecox ssp. orientalis ‘Benfran’

Baby Pete Agapanthus keeps everything scaled down, with rounded clusters of blue flowers held just above a low base of strap-like leaves. The blooms are neatly grouped, giving the plant a clear, defined look without excess height. Its compact habit makes it easy to place where space is limited or where a lower profile is preferred. Reaching about 12 to 18 inches tall and spreading 18 to 24 inches wide at maturity, it forms a small, balanced clump that works well in borders, containers, and accent plantings.

  • Flowering perennial
  • Blue globe-shaped flower clusters
  • Compact, clumping growth habit
  • Moderate growth rate
  • Excellent for borders, containers, and accents

Baby Pete Agapanthus thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA zones 8 through 11, it provides neat seasonal color and a clean, structured form in Texas landscapes.
