Large, rounded umbels of violet-blue, trumpet-shaped flowers, top the upright stems of this impressive agapanthus from midsummer.
The flowers appear in abundance and are distinguished by a deeper purple stripe that runs down the centre of of each flaring petal, giving them a two-tone effect.
'Northern Star' (PBR) is also one of the hardier (deciduous) types - and the a purplish flush to the base of the lush green foliage is an added bonus.

How to care for Agapanthus Northern Star (PBR):
Depending on the location of planting in the UK, these agapanthus can be semi-evergreen and hold onto their leaves in milder winters, though will typically lose them in colder regions or spells of weather. However, wrapping in a double layer of horticultural fleece and mulching around the base can safeguard the roots.
Keep well-watered during the growing season, applying a balanced liquid fertiliser each month from spring until the plant flowers. Towards the end of September ease back on the watering and feeding of plants in containers to allow the foliage to toughen up.
Grow Agapanthus plants in rich fertile, well drained soil, in a sunny position. When growing in patio containers, use a soil based compost such as John Innes No.3.
