Abstract

Abstract:

‘Zijuan’is a new cultivar bred from the seedlings of Agapanthus praecox‘Big Blue’. The Plant is a semi evergreen variety，and the umbel inflorescence is large and full，containing 142 to 150 florets，and pedicel lengths ranging from 5.2 to 6.1 cm. The corolla is funnel-shaped，with shortened tepals，exhibiting a length-to-width ratio of 0.84. The corolla lobes partially overlap. The RHS color chart value of the tepals is 92B，belonging to the typical blue-purple color series. There are numerous stamens slightly protruding beyond the tepals，and the stigma is positioned higher than the anthers. The flowering period occurs in mid-to-late June. This species is cold-resistant and drought-tolerant but has high fertilizer requirements. It is most suitable for cultivation in protected areas in Southern or Northern Jiangsu during autumn.

Key words: Agapanthus praecox, multiflorous, purple blue, cultivar
