Scenic Hill Farm Nursery Agapanthus Storm Cloud

This variety is hardy in zones 7B through 11. In warmer climates, it will remain evergreen, but in cooler zones near the edge of its hardiness range, you may need to provide winter protection or treat it as a seasonal plant.

Yes, 'Storm Cloud' adapts very well to containers. Ensure your pot has excellent drainage and is large enough to accommodate its clumping habit, as this will help the plant thrive and bloom reliably.

For the best flower production, place it in a spot that receives full sun to partial shade. While it can handle some shade, too little light will result in fewer blooms and less vigorous foliage.

Once the root system is fully established, 'Storm Cloud' demonstrates good drought tolerance. However, for the best performance and consistent summer color, it performs best with regular watering, especially during dry spells.

The most critical requirement is well-drained soil. Agapanthus are prone to root rot if they sit in waterlogged conditions, so amend heavy clay soils with organic matter or grit to improve drainage before planting.

You can expect 'Storm Cloud' to reach a height of 3 to 4 feet. The striking flower clusters rise well above the foliage, making them an excellent choice for adding vertical interest to the back of a border.
