Plant description
This striking perennial boasts dark blue buds that unfurl to reveal lavender backed, bluish-white flowers with delicate blue stripes, adding a touch of elegance to sunny, well-drained borders and patio pots.
Agapanthus ‘Midnight Moon’ is a robust and drought-tolerant variety, producing dense clusters of blooms throughout summer and into autumn. Its tall, upright stems hold large umbels above fresh green, strap-like foliage, creating a stunning visual contrast with broader-leaved plants.
Ideal for Mediterranean-style containers, gravel gardens, or sunny borders, this cultivar thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and full sun. Its compact habit makes it a perfect choice for containers, cottage gardens, or tropical-themed landscapes. The long flowering period and easy care make it an excellent addition to any garden or as a cut flower.

How to care for Agapanthus Midnight Moon ('DWHYB20') (PBR):
Depending on the location of planting in the UK, these agapanthus can be semi-evergreen and hold onto their leaves in milder winters, though will typically lose them in colder regions or spells of weather. However, wrapping in a double layer of horticultural fleece and mulching around the base can safeguard the roots.
Keep well-watered during the growing season, applying a balanced liquid fertiliser each month from spring until the plant flowers. Towards the end of September ease back on the watering and feeding of plants in containers to allow the foliage to toughen up.
Grow Agapanthus plants in rich fertile, well drained soil, in a sunny position. When growing in patio containers, use a soil based compost, such as John Innes No.3.

Please note:
This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
