'Midnight Sky' features abundant, large and voluptuous globe-shaped clusters of some of the darkest violet-blue flowers.

Growing Preferences
Agapanthus is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to mostly sun. We suggest 6 hours or more if direct sunlight per day. The more sun the better for best flowering. Established plants are quite drought tolerant requiring supplemental irrigation only during prolonged periods of drought. Constantly soggy or wet soils are problematic.
