Agapanthus is derived from Greek and means “flower of love”. Lily of the Nile, it is a bulbous exotic ornamentalOrnamental flower plant, characterized by being tall and erect (30–60 cm height) with blue or white flowers formed in late spring, early summer. Agapanthus is a monocotyledon that belongs to the family Amaryllidaceae, and, originating in South Africa, is cultivated all over the world. Agapanthus is used in South Africa, in folk medicine, for various purposes, but other studies show that it presents toxicity as well. In addition, it has several anthocyaninsAnthocyanin and anthocyanidinsAnthocyanidin, responsible for the blue color observed. When considering breedingBreeding programs and new studies, it is imperative to taking into account current advances Agapanthus culture. It is also important to consider the understanding of the reproductive biology of the species as a source for the advance of genetic improvement programs, under an ecological, chemical and phytochemical overview. It is evident that it is still possible to perform chemical and phytochemical studies, analyzing uses and applications of the plant with the objective of understanding its metabolic action, as well as employing vegetable dyes in new materials in order to develop intelligent materials, contributing to the sustainability and environment and meeting the principles of Sustainable DevelopmentSustainable development Goals proposed by the United Nations, directed at Green ChemistryGreen Chemistry.
