Other perennials
We are sometimes asked whether we grow only Agapanthus. Our answer has been an unequivocal yes for many years.
As passionate plant lovers, we regularly visit gardens and travel to fuel our inspiration. During these trips, we always keep an eye out for other plants that are interesting to grow and that also have a clear connection with Agapanthus.
This led us quite naturally to Tulbaghia. Like Agapanthus, it originates from South Africa, making the relationship between the two an obvious one. From a distance, they even show a slight visual resemblance. What truly links them, however, is their excellent drought tolerance. When selecting new plants for cultivation, this is without a doubt our number one requirement.
Another plant that quickly captured our attention is Allium, or ornamental onion — more specifically the Allium senescens group. Unlike the ornamental onions best known from the traditional bulb assortment, these are not bulb-forming plants.
Their advantages are numerous: they are highly drought tolerant, flower long and abundantly in summer (whereas bulb-forming Alliums mainly bloom in spring), and they offer exceptional ecological value. Allium senescens is a true magnet for honeybees and butterflies.
Wow — what a pollinator powerhouse!
