Genie Krivanek on Mar 19, 2014It's agapanthus. The are BEAUTIFUL! If you plant a bunch of them in a group you'll get a mass of lovely blue flowers for a long time. Those purple seed looking things are more blooms. They are a gorgeous addition to a garden and if you underplant them with something white or pink or yellow, the REALLY pop!Helpful Reply

Susie on Mar 19, 2014The flower doesn't really look right for an agapanthus - it looks more like an allium to me. Can you provide a pic of the leaves and info on size of flower head and length of stalk?Helpful Reply

161389 on Mar 19, 2014Thank you everyone I don't believe it's an agapanthus I'm leaning more towards the Allium. I don't have more picture's, but I'll show my neighbor picture's of both and see what she thinks it is. I haven't seen the whole thing she just brought me by the flower. Thanks again for the help. :)Helpful Reply

Maryann G on Mar 21, 2014It is definitely an agapanthus as previously mentioned. I have mine in a pot in my dining room picture window and it is now blooming. I live in NJ and the winter is too cold for them but you can plant them in the spring and dig a few up in a pot for the winter. They are beautiful!Helpful Reply
