Overview

Agapanthus 'Midnight Moon' is a distinctive African Lily grown for its elegant bicolour flowers and upright architectural form. Throughout summer, deep blue flower buds gradually open to reveal white to bluish-white trumpet-shaped flowers marked with blue stripes, forming large rounded flower heads held high above graceful strap-shaped foliage.

Its long flowering season and compact, clump-forming habit make it an excellent choice for sunny borders, gravel gardens and patio containers, where it provides height, structure and lasting colour. The blooms are also excellent for cutting, bringing their striking appearance indoors. At maturity, the plant typically reaches 50–70cm in height with a spread of around 50cm.

Why We Love It

• Unusual bicolour flowers create a distinctive summer display.
• Strong upright stems add height and structure to planting schemes.
• Long-lasting blooms are excellent for fresh flower arrangements.
• Highly attractive to bees and other pollinating insects.
• Well suited to both borders and large patio containers.

Plant Details

Growing Guide

Position

Plant in a sunny position where it will receive plenty of direct sunlight for the best flowering. A sheltered site encourages the strongest growth and flower production.

Watering

Water regularly while establishing and during prolonged dry spells, particularly when grown in containers. Avoid prolonged waterlogging during winter.

Soil

Grow in fertile, well-drained soil. Agapanthus also performs exceptionally well in large containers filled with a free-draining compost.

Hardiness and Winter Care

In colder or more exposed parts of Ireland, container-grown plants benefit from winter protection. Ensure excellent drainage throughout winter, and protect pots from prolonged frost where necessary.

Maintenance

Remove spent flower stems once flowering has finished to keep the plant tidy. Leave the foliage in place until it naturally dies back, removing damaged leaves in spring as fresh growth begins. Feed during the growing season with a balanced fertiliser to encourage reliable flowering.

Perfect For

• Sunny borders.
