Yep. Commonly sold here, even by Home Depot (at the present time).

Forgive me but I don't think many (if any) of the above suggestions meet shannorcal's criteria of 12-18 inches tall.

Kazooie, perhaps they would do better away from a wall. It has always been my experience that anything against a wall is more strongly affected by heat. We just bought several Agapanthus (Lily of the Nile), since we have taken out over 20 years of growth and are re-doing the front yard. We knew they were extensively planted here, but as is often the way, we hadn't really noticed them until we decided to get some of our own. I went for a walk this evening and out of about 100 houses that I passed, only 2 did not have Agapanthus somewhere on the property. They really do grow well here. The summer temperature is much cooler than it was 40 or so years ago. It only gets up to the low 100's now. When I was a child here (in the San Joaquin Valley), it was much hotter in the summer. but I remember Amaryllis and Agapanthus even then. The winter has a few freezing nights usually, but it doesn't bother the Agapanthus. In the city they get plenty of water, but some say that they are somewhat drought resistant. Wonderful plants. Lina.

Is that four thousand three hundred and 20 metres? No, not possible. However, without knowing where the agies (agapanthus) are in the picture, I'd give some thought to gardenias, they should be in flower at the same time - around Christmas time, and the white flowers of the gardenias should compliment the blue (or blue and white) of the agies. Otherwise you could consider a show of annuals: A mixture of salvias, maybe petunias or zinnias. Regards.
