Bridal Veil® Agapanthus – Pure White Lily of the Nile

Bridal Veil® Agapanthus – Pure White Elegance That Blooms All Summer

If you love the bold, globe-shaped flower clusters of Agapanthus but want something softer and more refined, Bridal Veil® is the answer. This compact, evergreen Lily of the Nile produces an abundance of pristine white flower clusters on upright stems throughout summer — clean, luminous, and endlessly versatile. Whether you’re designing a white garden, brightening a shaded border, or filling containers with long-season color, Bridal Veil® delivers effortless elegance with virtually no maintenance.

Why Bridal Veil® Stands Apart

• Pure white flower clusters – Large, rounded umbels of pristine white trumpet-shaped flowers on upright stems — a clean, luminous color that pairs beautifully with virtually any other plant in the garden.
• Long summer bloom season – Flowers from early summer through late summer, providing weeks of continuous white color at the peak of the garden season.
• Compact, tidy habit – Stays naturally mounded without sprawling or staking — perfectly proportioned for front-of-border planting, edging, and containers.
• Evergreen foliage – Lush, strap-like leaves remain green year-round in mild climates, providing structure and texture even when not in bloom.
• Drought-tolerant once established – Handles heat, dry spells, and coastal conditions with ease — one of the most water-efficient flowering perennials available.
• Deer & pest resistant – Naturally unpalatable to deer and resistant to most common garden pests.
• Pollinator magnet – Attracts hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies throughout the bloom season.
• Container-friendly – Thrives in pots; easily overwintered indoors in zones below 7 for years of enjoyment.

Ideal Uses

• White garden or moon garden plantings
• Front-of-border edging and low garden beds
• Container planting on patios, balconies, and entryways
• Mass planting for a bold, cohesive white statement
• Coastal and Mediterranean-style gardens
• Low-water and xeriscape landscapes
• Cut flower garden — blooms make excellent long-lasting arrangements

Picture a midsummer evening — your border glowing with clusters of pure white Bridal Veil® blooms catching the last light of the day, hummingbirds hovering at the flower clusters. It’s the kind of quiet, refined beauty that makes a garden feel intentional and complete.

Growing Guide

• Zones: USDA 7–11 outdoors (evergreen); zones 5–6 in containers (bring indoors before frost)
• Light: Full sun to partial shade — best blooming in full sun; tolerates morning shade
• Water: Regular watering during establishment; drought-tolerant once established. Reduce watering in winter.
• Soil: Well-draining; tolerates sandy and clay soils once established
• Mature size: 18–24 inches tall and wide
• Bloom time: Early summer through late summer
• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring
• Division: Divide clumps every 4–5 years in spring to maintain vigor and propagate new plants
• Overwintering: In zones below 7, bring containers indoors to a bright, cool location before frost; reduce watering through winter

Available Options

Choose a Single 1-Gallon plant or save with the 2-Pack — ideal for mass planting, symmetrical container arrangements, or creating a cohesive white border run.
