5 Seeds Agapanthus Storm Cloud Lily of the Nile Perennial

Agapanthus Storm Cloud, commonly called Lily of the Nile, is a clump-forming perennial prized for its rounded clusters of deep violet-blue flowers held on tall sturdy stems above strappy green foliage. This selection brings bold vertical color to borders, containers, and cutting gardens, blooming through the warmer months once established.
Grow it as a striking ornamental accent in mixed beds, along pathways, or in patio pots where its tall flower heads add height and structure. The arching foliage stays attractive after bloom, and the long-lasting flowers work well in fresh arrangements. Plants generally prefer a sunny position with well-drained soil and moderate moisture, forming dense clumps over time.
