I used to just call it a 'corn plant' for lack of a better word, as its leaves somewhat resemble , you guessed it, a CORN plant/stalk.
I used to trim this as it grows extremely fast and is very hearty and drought resistant.
But this year I didn't trim it, barely even watered it and the darn thing bloomed these beautiful white flowers!
Now I want to know what it is so I can get some more!
This plant makes me look like I have a green thumb!
Lily-of-the-Nile (Agapanthus)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Matthew! You got back to me faster than anyone- I had even emailed UTEP and have yet to hear an answer back, tho the person I sent it to did let me know they passed the info on.
ReplyDeletemuchas gracias u 2,i 2 have a AGAPANTHUS, i also call it corn plant, how much sun does it need to bloom? mine is inside, south window, over three years w/it, no flowers, u must b a 'bruja"
ReplyDeletesori i didn't get 2 yr comment sooner congressman- u were stuck in 'spamworld'- lol! My plants are in the ground facing west with about 7-8 hours of full-on sun! like I said- this is the 1st year they bloomed since i've been here and it's partially because i stopped trimming them down. Mine are not the dwarf plants- the leaves are big and thick and about 3 ft long now. I leave them in the ground during winter, then early spring i cut back any brown. Soy bruja buena btw- lolol!
