Agapanthus 'Storm Cloud' | Storm Cloud Agapanthus
DESCRIPTION
Agapanthus 'Storm Cloud' is a variety known for its bold, dark blue flowers that appear in large, globe-like clusters. The blooms, which emerge in late summer, create a dramatic contrast against the plant's rich green, strap-shaped leaves. The flower heads are compact and dense, offering an eye-catching display that adds depth and color to the garden throughout the growing season.
This cultivar originates from the hybridization of various Agapanthus species, with a focus on creating a more compact and vigorous plant suited for garden settings. 'Storm Cloud' is well-regarded for its ability to adapt to a variety of climates, with its flowers standing out during the summer months when other plants may begin to fade. It is a valuable addition to borders or containers, providing a bold color contrast in garden designs.
