Agapanthus Twister
White / Focal
Agapanthus ‘Twister’ is a bicolour African lily grown from fleshy rhizomatous crowns and valued as a clean, architectural summer stem. It produces rounded umbels of white funnel-shaped florets with a dark violet-blue throat, carried above strong strap-like foliage. For a flower farm it should be treated as a premium perennial crop that earns its place through wedding value, florist novelty, and long-term clump productivity rather than fast annual turnover. It needs sun, drainage, patience, and careful postharvest handling because agapanthus is ethylene sensitive and does not store for long as a dry cut stem.
