Agapanthus 'Sugar Plum'

Agapanthus 'Sugar Plum' Details

“Sugar Plum” is a variety of Agapanthus that features large and showy clusters of purple-blue flowers through spring and summer. These are held above the dark green, strap-like foliage which serves as a pleasant backdrop to the flowers. This herbaceous perennial grows as a tidy clump to about 40 cm tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, coastal conditions, moderate wind, dry periods, and heavy soils. “Sugar Plum” is a versatile plant that can be used as a low maintenance option on drier sites or in situations with poor soil conditions such as a clay bank. It is also commonly used in borders and mixed plantings, mass planted either as a groundcover or on a bank, maintained in a container, or included in cottage gardens. A mass planting is the best way to showcase this plant.
