| Agapanthus
praecox (Agapanthus) is a very common garden plant
that has become established on or near old house sites and
gardens. Although its status as being truly naturalised is
unclear at present, its extreme hardiness and vigour make it
a likely candidate as a future environmental weed.
It has thick rhizomes that can withstand extreme drought
and still resprout. The flowers are white to blue and
occur in umbels. The leaves are strap-like and occur in
two rows at the very base of the stem. They are somewhat
fleshy, typically 2-3 cm wide and up to about 60cm long.
They have a rounded tip.
