Species overview
The Agapanthus 'Purple Cloud', commonly known as Purple Cloud Agapanthus, is a hardy and striking perennial celebrated for its tall stems topped with clusters of deep purple, trumpet-shaped flowers. Blooming prolifically in summer, it creates a bold and vibrant display in garden beds, borders, and containers. Its strap-like green foliage forms an attractive clump, making it as decorative out of bloom as in flower. Growing up to 1 to 1.5 metres tall, it is an excellent choice for adding height and colour to a variety of garden styles.
