Dwarf Lily of the Nile

Common name: Dwarf Lily of the Nile
Botanical name: Agapanthus 'Peter Pan'

This clumping dwarf variety of Agapanthus has green, strap-like, evergreen leaves. Clusters of blue, oval shaped flowers appear in summer on top of stalks, making this plant about 2' tall. This dependable plant can be grown in sun or partial sun. It is drought tolerant in coastal areas but will appreciate occasional watering in inland warm areas, especially during the summer. This perennial attracts butterflies.

Australian Tree Fern

Common name: Australian Tree Fern
Botanical name: Cyathea cooperi

This evergreen fern reaches a height of 10' with light green fronds that spread to a width of 15'. Its fronds are wider and held more horizontally than those of the Tasmanian fern tree. It requires part shade to shade, with average to little summer watering. This plant performs well in containers, and is damaged by frost below 25 degrees F.
