Agapanthus 'Storm Cloud' (Lily-of-the-Nile)

Sun to Part SunZone: 7b-10, at least 24" tall Origin: Hybrid

Thanks to Barrie Coate for setting us straight on the origin of this great plant. When Barrie was director of the Saratoga Horticultural Foundation, he selected this gem from thousands of open pollinated seedlings from the deciduous A. 'Mood Indigo'. The resulting evergreen selection (only to 28 degrees F) is a dynamite lily-of-the-Nile with the typical strap-like foliage to 24" tall. Through late summer, the huge clumps of foliage are topped with giant, magnificent flower heads of bluish-purple on very sturdy stalks to 4' tall...WOW! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
