I had earlier mentioned that there are some evergreen varieties of Agapanthus which relatively has chances of faring better in some of our cities. It seems that this cultivar is either of the two evergreen varieties mentioned below in quotes.

"Agapanthus africanus has a better chance of surviving in Lahore & Islamabad.

Agapanthus praecox fares better in coastal regions due it can tolerate the strong winds and salty air and Karachi seems to be more suited for it."

As i mentioned earlier these plants were grown from seeds, the seeds were labelled as white variety.

They receive direct sunlight from 3:00 pm till 5:30 pm, watering is daily... only one thing i have started recently was high doses of liquid NPK 20:20:20 twice weekly, you can see the difference in lush green leaves (compared with older pic)... the same i will do for my Clivia..
