Good plant #138 - Agapanthus Campanulatus 'Jacks Blue'

This perennial and deciduous Agapanthus is a darker blue than usual and said to be fairly hardy.  The frosts of 2010/ 2011 (-10 centigrade) put paid to many.  To ensure success year on year, grow in pots and bring specimens indoors on frosty nights. Alternatively, provide a thick protective mulch over the crown in winter.

They thrive in sunny spots in free-draining soil.

You can divide mature plants in spring every few years.
