Agapanthus Northern Star 2 Litre Pot

Agapanthus ‘Northern Star’ – Bold Blue African Lily for Summer Impact

Agapanthus ‘Northern Star’ is a striking and reliable African Lily, producing large, rounded flower heads in rich deep blue tones during mid to late summer. The impressive blooms are held high on sturdy upright stems, creating a bold architectural display in sunny borders.

The strong colouring and generous flower size make this variety particularly effective as a focal point in planting schemes. It pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses and late-flowering perennials, adding depth and contrast to summer displays.

Its clump-forming habit creates a neat base of strap-like foliage, providing structure even when not in flower. ‘Northern Star’ works equally well in borders or large containers, where its height and colour can be fully appreciated.

Highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, this variety adds valuable wildlife interest while delivering strong visual impact.

Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, Agapanthus ‘Northern Star’ prefers a warm, sheltered position. It is hardy in many UK gardens, particularly when planted in free-draining soil, and benefits from winter protection in colder areas.

Bold, reliable, and full of summer colour, Agapanthus ‘Northern Star’ is an excellent choice for adding height and intensity to garden planting.
