A smaller scale plant than the agapanthuses usually seen in gardens, both the leaves and flowers of this have lovely colors. The leaves are striped in creamy yellow. They are evergreen. The flowers are a light to medium blue and low at a height of twelve to eighteen inches. This lily-of-the-Nile is hardy to USDA Zone 8 (+10° to +20°F). Also known as 'Summer Gold,' 'Hinag' was introduced from Japan by Barry Yinger. Where winters are colder than Zone 8, it would make a good container plant. Its small scale is perfect for a 6-inch to 10-inch pot.
