Agapanthus ‘Northern Lights’ Description

Agapanthus ‘Northern Lights’ forms a clump of strap-shaped mid-green foliage and produces sturdy flower stems topped with rounded heads of dark blue-purple blooms in summer. The individual flowers have a slightly closed, trumpet-shaped form that gives the heads a distinctive appearance. It works well among ornamental grasses, in sunny mixed borders or as a feature in a large container. Grow in fertile, moist but freely draining soil in full sun, watering during extended dry periods while the plant is in active growth. The foliage dies down naturally in winter, improving its tolerance of cold conditions. Apply a protective mulch over the crown in exposed gardens and remove old leaves once they have fully withered.
