Lily of the Nile - Agapanthus? Blue-purple flowers most common but also white, regular and dwarf forms? Grows here too. Snails love 'em.

Agapanthus? They should be shrub like and in your climate, in the ground.

they should be...i just need them 6' off the ground. i had a nice robust shelf and was going to make an elevated planter box but the missus did not like the look and these guys were $8 for a flat of 12 LOL so i put them in small clay pots and they barely live but they do their job

Agapanthus? They should be shrub like and in your climate, in the ground. Are you sure they're not Liriope? Lily turf is the common name.

This is one place where I agree with Ray (one place). Are they day lilies, Lillium, resurrection lilies? Lily is a broad, vague, term. I wondered why you had (and still do) Stella 'D Oro hanging on the fence (obviously they are not). If you went to the nursery, in this case, you could be run over by the bus.

Okay Judah... whoah here! All stop. We were trying to figure out what you had growing in the ground that sent out a bloom. The ones that have been there since you moved in? Those were the ones I was saying were Agapanthus... the Lily of the Nile.

Whatever those things are hanging off your fence aren't Lily of the Nile. Possibly Liriope. Can't even see them well enough to tell... but at your purchase price, Liriope is a good guess.

Agapanthus needs lots of water. Grows a good three foot high, flowers are gorgeous, grows from a bulb. Liriope doesn't. Liriope gets maybe a foot high. Flower stalks have negligible blooms, runs like crazy on rhizomes.

I would have LOVED to have you visit my water garden store.

Lily of the Nile is a common common name for Agapanthus, which has a lot of common names.

[Dollythehun]

Not all liriope runs. Some clumps, some are short and black, some tall and variegated, all different kinds.

The point being here, I get taken to the woodshed because I don't have a quotation mark in the right spot and you're not even in the ballpark with your genus.

Well that's not quite true, you're probably in the right family they probably are all in the Lillium family somehow. I am not going to look.

I think almost all monocots are now asparagus.

Please don't make me research this. If they're monocots they would be in the grass family, which they are not, I don't believe, because you can spray them with Ornamec, which only kills monocots ( grasses ) and it doesn't harm them. However, you can spray daylilies with confront because they're monocots, and it doesn't hurt them. This is like backing into an algebraic equation.

Ok. Forget my muttering. They are monocots they are in the asparagus family. You're right as usual. But at least when you're right you're always nice about it.
