Family Agapanthaceae
Originating from South Africa

A deciduous clump-forming perennial with dark green strap-like leaves. ‘Midnight Star’ produces clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers which are a dark and rich shade of blue. It flowers from mid to late summer, and its fairly tall stature make it suitable for specimen or feature planting.
It performs best in a sunny and sheltered spot. Container grown plants should be overwintered in a frost-free greenhouse. In light of recent winters, it is also advisable to mulch Agapanthus that are planted in the ground. In mild winters Agapanthus will remain evergreen but harsh winters will cause dieback of leaves. Grow in moist but well-drained soil in sun. Divide in spring if clumps become congested and re-pot containerised plants regularly. Although congested plants will flower at a younger age, their roots are capable of cracking a terracotta pot.
