Agapanthus ‘Midnight Moon’ is truly a standout! A compact, stylish variety adored for its rich, inky violet‑blue flowers that create a dramatic contrast in the summer garden. Blooming beautifully in early to mid‑summer in Cape Town, this PBR cultivar produces rounded clusters of deep-coloured petals that glow against their lush green foliage, almost like moonlit flowers after dusk.
Perfect for modern landscapes, pathways, borders, or statement containers, ‘Midnight Moon’ delivers elegance with almost no effort. Its neat, structured habit and intense colouring make it a favourite for designers seeking something bold yet waterwise. Thriving in full sun to light semi‑shade, this tough South African hybrid handles wind, heat, and coastal conditions with ease.
• Striking deep violet‑blue blooms that add drama and richness to garden beds.
• Compact and tidy, perfect for borders, pathways, and containers.
• Exceptionally waterwise and wind-resistant once established.
• Flowers beautifully through Cape Town’s warm, dry summers.
• Hardy, evergreen, and low maintenance.
Plant in well-draining soil and water regularly during establishment. Once settled, ‘Midnight Moon’ thrives with minimal watering, especially in full sun. Feed in early spring to encourage lush foliage and strong flowering stems. Remove faded blooms to keep the plant tidy and to promote repeat flowering. This cultivar stands up well to coastal winds and Cape Town’s summer heat, making it a reliable performer in almost any sunny garden.
‘Midnight Moon’ is part of a specialised PBR breeding programme focused on developing exceptionally deep-blue, compact agapanthus suited to modern landscapes and waterwise gardening.
