A new and fabulously free flowering form, this has large blue flowerheads with a star of darker blue radiating out from the centre of each flower. Compact, upright spiky foliage forms a neat hummock of apple green, from which the blooms emerge, triumphant, tall and proud.

Sowing, Seeds, Planting | Agapanthus grow best in moisture-retentive soil in a site that receives sun for most of the day. On heavy soils, mix in grit when planting. Space 30cm (12in) apart with crowns 5cm (2in) below the ground. Agapanthus are well-suited to being grown in pots, which can then be brought into a conservatory or greenhouse for the winter. For containers use a good quality peat-free compost with slow release feed granules added, for long-term feed. You can also try planting into a pot and sinking into the ground; restricting the roots will encourage flower production. |
Care Tips | In cold areas, mulch well overwinter and take containers under cover. |
Flowering | July - September |
Vase Life | Excellent cut flowers and lovely seed pods too. |
