Agapanthus inapertus ssp. pendulus 'Graskop' (Graskop Lily-of-the-Nile)

SunZone: 7b-10, at least 36" tall Origin: S. Africa

I first observed this amazing clone en masse at the famed Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden in Cape Town. Agapanthus 'Graskop' was discovered in 1985 in the town of Graskop (not to be confused with the pond vegetation eating fish) in the northeast Transvaal region of South Africa. The clumps of narrow green foliage are topped in summer with 3' spikes of terminal flower heads, each composed of 30-40 flowers that emerge as black buds, then open with dark violet-blue pendulous flowers...simply stunning. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
