There is a new hardy Agapapanthus being sold this year in North America.  It has the confusing name of 'Summer Skies', confusing as there is an existing tender one in Europe with the same name.  It is very pale blue but if it proves to be hardy we'll take it.  And it flowers early in life; we ordered some in 5cm pots - tissue-cultured ones - and by late June there were some that had 3 full-sized flower stalks rising.

Whereas all other Agapanthus I've come across are hardy in winter for me, I've never managed to keept 'Tinkerbell' going for more than a season.  It obviously needs something different to the majority of other Agapanthus.

For those who haven't heard of dwarf Agapanthus to only 30 to 40cm tall, there definitely are a few different varieties, some even smaller than that.  At least here in Australia.

Sorry for coming into this topic late.  Just catching up a bit on this section.  8)
