Seeing Blue - Agapanthus ‘Midknight Blue’

If you love blue, Agapanthus produces some of the best blues in the summer garden.

This easy-to-grow perennial produces colorful blue globes made of trumpet-shaped flowers in summer and fall. Its evergreen leaves add texture to beds, borders, and containers. Agapanthus blooms best in a spot where it gets full sun and has moist, well-drained soil. These blue beauties can be grown in the ground and are striking in containers.

Consider these design ideas when planting Agapanthus in your garden. Line them up for a quaint edging or plant in seas of blue as a groundcover. They work well in groups combined with other annuals and perennials. The structure of the flower makes it suitable for modernistic landscapes and crisp contemporary compositions.

They are perfect paired with shades or orange and yellow. Try these companion plants: Shasta Daisies, Coral Bells, Lantana, Daylilies

Agapanthus is truly a summer gift to the garden.
