I want to get one of these in blue or purple, as spied in Mucross House, but I've no idea what it's called.
For anyone interested, it has great lasting power as a cut flower.
Thanks in advance

they are indeed lovely Ruby, have a read through this thread about growing them here in Ireland
http://www.gardenplansireland.com/forum/about3911.html
General rule of thumb, mistreat* them as much as possible, they will encourage them to flower.
*Dry / hot / restricted root growth

Hi Ruby,
I planted a new white agapanthus, in the early summer this year, named,"White Heaven" and I am delighted to see bud forming around now. It is a more tender variety than some and likes to be kept dryish in a south facing position.

Almost forgot, this one is evergreen.

This one's dramatic, with black stems and blue-purple flowerheads that are black when in bud, named agapanthus"Back in Black.". I have it in my front coastal garden in very poor soil, and fully exposed on three sides. Was slow to get going there, but is doing great now.
