A white form of A. africanus from South Africa.

Beautiful, many flowered, rounded umbels of white trumpet shaped flowers in late summer. The petals may have a slightly darker back. Leaves are mainly evergreen but can also be semi-evergreen, long and strap like in appearance.

Only hardy down to 5F and will need winter cover in frost prone areas.

These will not come true from garden seeds.
