Purple Potion Agapanthus - 1 Gallon
- Striking, deep violet flower clusters—an uncommon shade for agapanthus—held upright on sturdy stems.
- Compact, evergreen clumps for borders and containers: foliage ~12 in. tall × ~20 in. wide; bloom stalks to ~26 in.
- Selected for improved hardiness and strong, non‑flopping scapes; easy‑care and waterwise once established.
- Thrives in full sun and well‑drained soil; a dramatic mid‑border accent or mass planting for summer color.
Purple Potion Agapanthus (Agapanthus inapertus ‘HinGrkop’, PPAF) steals the show with saturated violet blooms above tidy, strap‑leaf mounds. Bred for increased hardiness and upright, sturdy stems, it delivers clean lines in containers and bold color in sunny beds. Evergreen in warm regions, this low‑maintenance, clump‑forming selection performs in full sun and well‑drained soil, bringing pollinator‑friendly impact to borders, poolside plantings, and pathway edges.
Plant Description
Evergreen, clump‑forming agapanthus with narrow, glossy green leaves. Summer flower heads feature dense clusters of deep violet, trumpet‑shaped blooms on strong, upright stalks.
Flowers & Bloom Time
Summer blooming; large violet umbels sit well above the foliage on sturdy scapes, providing long‑lasting garden color and excellent stems for cutting.
Habit & Size
Foliage mounds to roughly 12 in. tall and ~20 in. wide; flower stalks reach about 26 in., maintaining balanced proportions for borders and containers.
Sun Requirements
Full sun recommended for best bloom density and compact growth; tolerates light partial sun in hotter inland sites.
Water & Soil
Plant in average, well‑drained soil. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish; once established, reduce frequency—tolerates mild drought between soakings.
Hardiness
USDA Zones 7–10. Evergreen in warm climates; in colder areas, grow in containers that can be moved to frost‑free shelter over winter.
Special Features
Selected for increased hardiness and non‑flopping stems; waterwise after establishment; attracts pollinators and hummingbirds; suitable for coastal exposure.
Landscape Uses
Mid‑border or rear‑border color band, mass plantings for dramatic effect, sunny containers, poolside edges, and formal path edgings.
Care & Feeding
Feed in early spring and again after flowering. Plants bloom best when left undisturbed; divide only when clumps become overcrowded. Deadhead spent scapes to tidy.
Spacing & Planting
Space 18–24 in. on center for a continuous ribbon or mass. Set crowns level with the soil surface; water to settle and mulch to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature.
Container Tips
Use a high‑quality, well‑drained potting mix in a 12–14 in. wide container. Provide full sun and water when the top 2–3 in. of mix are dry.
Design Notes
Pair with daylilies, shasta daisies, dianthus, or society garlic to echo the color palette and contrast textures; repeat clumps for a bold, uniform summer display.
