- Sky‑blue flower clusters on sturdy stems rise above dense, strap‑like foliage for weeks of color.
- Fast‑growing, evergreen clumper that thrives in full sun to partial sun and well‑drained soils.
- Compact footprint for borders and containers: foliage ~12 in. tall × ~20 in. wide; scapes to ~30 in.
- Waterwise and adaptable once established; repeat flowering from mid‑spring into summer.
Blue Storm Agapanthus (Agapanthus praecox subsp. orientalis ‘ATIBlu’) brings reliable, sky‑blue bloom spheres and lush, strap‑leaf texture to poolside edges, pathways, and pots. A rugged, intermediate‑sized selection, it forms dense evergreen clumps, sends up short, sturdy stalks, and keeps the show going with repeat flowering—while tolerating coastal conditions and mild drought once established. Perfect for warm, water‑wise landscapes that want a clean, polished look with minimal fuss.
Plant Description
Evergreen, clump‑forming perennial with healthy green, bladed leaves; rounded umbels of sky‑blue, bell‑shaped flowers are held on strong stems just above the foliage for a neat, massable look.
Habit & Size
Foliage quickly reaches about 12 in. tall and ~20 in. wide; bloom stalks extend to roughly 30 in., maintaining a balanced, intermediate profile suited to borders and containers.
Flowers & Bloom Time
Main bloom from mid‑spring into summer with repeat flowering in season. Sky‑blue to violet‑blue clusters are long‑lasting and excellent for cutting.
Sun Requirements
Full sun to partial sun. In hotter inland sites, light afternoon shade helps preserve bloom and foliage quality.
Water & Soil
Plant in average, well‑drained soil. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish; once established, reduce frequency—plants tolerate mild drought and adapt to wetter or drier periods.
Hardiness
USDA Zones 8–11. In colder zones, grow in containers and move to a frost‑free location for winter.
Special Features
Fast‑growing; waterwise once established; attracts pollinators (including hummingbirds); tolerant of coastal exposure; suitable for erosion control on gentle slopes.
Landscape Uses
Border edging, poolside plantings, massed ribbons for color, and statement containers. Provides a mid‑border source of blue to complement greens, whites, and silvers.
Care & Feeding
Feed before new growth in spring and again after flowering. Plants bloom best when undisturbed; divide only when clumps become overcrowded.
Spacing & Planting
Space ~18–24 in. on center for a continuous border. Set crowns at the same depth as in the pot; water to settle and mulch to conserve moisture.
Container Tips
Use a high‑quality, well‑drained potting mix in a container at least 12–14 in. wide. Provide full to partial sun and water when the top 2–3 in. of mix are dry.
Design Notes
Pair with pittosporum, coral bells, iris, shasta daisy, or coneflower to echo its color and contrast textures; mass 3–5 plants for an even, formal edge along paths and drives.
