Storm Cloud Agapanthus is a compact long-blooming perennial with green strap-like foliage that develops a red tint in fall. Loose global clusters of large deep violet-blue tubular flowers that bloom on tall stalks above the leaves throughout summer. Flowers best when pot-bound and consistently moist. Storm Cloud is disease and pest resistant, and drought tolerant once established.
