• Position: full sun
• Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil (or John Innes no 3 compost for containers)
• Rate of growth: average
• Flowering period: July to September
• Hardiness: half hardy (will need protection in winter)
  
  Deep blue flowers, which have a striped effect along their flaring petals, form in loose clusters from midsummer. Agapanthus are elegant and structural plants with rich-green strap-shaped foliage. This deciduous form is hardier than most, but may still need a little protection in more exposed areas or in excessively cold winters.
  
  
• Garden care: Keep well-watered during the growing season, applying a balanced liquid fertiliser each month from spring until the plant flowers. Overwinter container-grown specimens in a cool greenhouse or conservatory, watering sparingly.
