Agapanthus 'Prolific Blue' is a 1993 lily-of-the-Nile introduction from Washington's Don Duncan, that is both prolific and blue. Agapanthus 'Prolific Blue' has thrived in cold hardiness trials in Zone 6 Michigan since 2010, surviving -15 degrees F without protection, and still flowers beautifully. Each 30" tall spike is topped, starting in July (NC) with 100+ rich light blue flowers with dark blue keels and a white eyezone...spectacular, and a haven for native bumblebees. Rich, moist soils produce the best agapanthus.
