Agapanthus 'Tinkerbell' (Dwarf Variegated Lily of the Nile) is a compact, herbaceous perennial plant known for its showy blooms and attractive foliage. Unlike many other species of Agapanthus, 'Tinkerbell' is a smaller cultivar, reaching a mature height of only 12-18 inches. It produces large, trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of blue or violet, arranged in showy clusters on sturdy stems. The plant has strap-like leaves that are edged in creamy-white, adding interest and a variegated effect to the garden. Dwarf Variegated Lily of the Nile is a popular choice for gardens in Mediterranean climates, and it can also be grown as a container plant in colder climates. It is adaptable to a wide range of soils and growing conditions and is drought-tolerant once established. With its compact habit and variegated foliage, Agapanthus 'Tinkerbell' is a great choice for adding a pop of color and texture to borders, rock gardens, and mixed containers.
