Agapanthus ‘Midnight Sky’ is a striking, deep‑coloured African lily renowned for its rich midnight‑blue flower heads held high on sturdy stems. Blooming from early to late summer in Cape Town’s warm, dry season, it adds dramatic contrast to garden beds and pathways. Its compact, evergreen clumping habit makes it perfect for borders, mass plantings, driveway edging, and decorative pots. Thriving in full sun to semi‑shade, this hardy, water‑wise agapanthus is ideal for coastal, indigenous, and low-maintenance landscapes.
• Features deep midnight‑blue blooms that stand out in any garden.
• Excellent water-wise choice once established.
• Compact habit makes it suitable for pots, pathways, and borders.
• Strong wind and salt tolerance, perfect for Cape coastal areas.
• Evergreen, hardy, and loved for its long flowering season.
Plant in well-draining soil and water regularly during the first few months to help roots establish. Once mature, it requires minimal watering and handles dry Cape summers with ease. Remove faded flower stalks to promote fresh blooms and maintain a tidy look. Feed lightly in early spring. Divide clumps every few years if they become dense.
Agapanthus varieties with darker blooms, like ‘Midnight Sky’, develop their richest colour in full sun, making Cape Town’s bright summers perfect for intensifying their dramatic blue tones.
