Agapanthus 'Ever Purple'
- 'Ever Purple' is an absolute showstopper, boasting intense, deep burgundy-purple flowers that create a spectacular and dramatic impact in any summer garden.
- Unlike many traditional varieties, this agapanthus is renowned for its incredible re-blooming nature, providing a continuous and prolific display of vibrant colour from early summer through to autumn.
- Its outstanding performance and aesthetics earned it the prestigious title of Best in Show at the HTA National Plant Show, cementing its status as a highly sought-after, must-have perennial.
- With its naturally compact and neat growth habit, this African lily acts as a magnificent centrepiece for sunny patio pots, though it looks equally good mass-planted in dry, coastal borders.
- Despite its exotic appearance, this robust evergreen is highly drought-tolerant and delightfully low-maintenance once established, making it a brilliant choice for busier gardeners.
