Abstract:

Most of the plants in Agapanthus have medicinal and ornamental value，inland breeding is critical for promoting the utilization of this genus and the growth of China’s application and extension.‘Xingxingzhihuo’is a new cultivar bred from the seedlings of Agapanthus praecox. Compared to the original species，the average height of the leaf clump was reduced by 59.5%，the average crown diameter was reduced by 58.67%，and the average leaf width was reduced by 77.78%. The scape is thin and weak；the diameter of the umbel is 9-10 cm，with 30-40 small flowers；the small white flowers are funnel-shaped；Stamens are numerous，slightly protruding perianth segments，Stigma equal to anther height，odorless. The flowering period is in mid-June. The most suitable time for planting in protected cultivation is in the fall.
