About this plant
Agapanthus 'Windlebrooke' delights with clusters of soft, violet-blue flowers that bloom in mid to late summer, creating a serene and calming effect in the garden. Each blossom forms a small, star-like shape, and the numerous flowers create a dense, rounded cluster atop slender stems, adding height and elegance to garden beds and borders.
Originating as a cultivated variety chosen for its reliable flowering and soft color, 'Windlebrooke' brings a gentle wave of cool tones to sunny spaces. Its blooms attract pollinators, adding life and movement to the summer garden. Adaptable and low-maintenance, this Agapanthus is ideal for mass plantings or as a feature plant where its blooms can sway gracefully with a breeze, lending a natural charm to its surroundings.

Design tip
Summer flowers carry the middle of the season, so place it where the bed needs color once spring bulbs fade. It takes sun or light shade, which makes it useful along the changing light of a bed edge or a partly shaded border.
Where to see it
This plant can be seen in the perennial border at the Bellevue Botanical Garden.
