This striking Agapanthus has a compact head of drooping, dark violet blue flowers in July. The buds as they emerge seem almost black and are held erect, slowly elongating and finally becoming pendulous as they open. A deciduous cultivar, which is tougher than the evergreens - and therefore hardy in most parts of the country in a sheltered, sunny spot. - Garden care: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly from spring until flowering. In cold areas, protect the crown of the plant with a deep, dry mulch. Divide plants in spring.
