Agapanthus "Bluestorm"
I've been trying to find some information on this plant, but without much
success. Can anyone tell me anything about it. Is it hardy? Can I obtain it in this country? If so, where? |

If so, where? This is a USA site http://www.monrovia.com/PlantInf.nsf...d00702dc0?Open Document If it's a Monrovia plant, then it's likely not very hardy. Monrovia is a very large wholesale nursery, California-based, and their agapanthus are grown for the California market. Ditto their daylilies, though the evergreen double 'Mongold' has survived in my garden for many years. If you want a reasonably hardy agapanthus, find one bred in Britain for outdoor culture. 'Bressingham Blue' is an example. I'm not entirely sure, but I think the agapanthus usually grown in California are derived from A. africanus, a rather tender species; whereas, the hardy British cultivars are derived from another, hardier, species. However, tender agapanthus do fairly well in tubs as long as they're given protection against hard freezes. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada |
