Agapanthus – Storm

Storm™ Agapanthus are a compact, exceptionally free-flowering range that deliver outstanding colour with minimal maintenance. Tough, reliable and highly adaptable, they are equally at home in gardens, commercial landscapes, streetscapes and public spaces.

Once established during the first six months after planting, Storm agapanthus are incredibly drought tolerant and require very little ongoing care. Their naturally compact habit makes them easy to manage, while their vigorous growth ensures they produce an abundance of flowers every summer. Best of all, their floral display becomes even more spectacular as the plants mature, providing years of reliable colour and enjoyment.

Storm agapanthus don’t just look good—they also make a valuable contribution to the garden environment. Their masses of flowers are rich in nectar and pollen, attracting bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators throughout the summer months, helping to support biodiversity and a healthy ecosystem.

Another significant advantage is their suitability for fire-conscious landscaping. With their fleshy, moisture-rich foliage, agapanthus are widely recognised as one of the preferred plants for use around homes and landscaped areas, as they are less likely to ignite or carry fire compared with many other ornamental plants. While no plant is completely fireproof, Storm agapanthus are an excellent addition to a well-planned, fire-wise garden.

Strong, vigorous and incredibly floriferous, Storm agapanthus quickly develop into dense, attractive clumps that provide year-round structure and lush evergreen foliage. The plants shown here are just 3–4 years from planting, demonstrating the remarkable vigour and flowering performance of this outstanding range.

If you’re looking for a hardy, long-lived plant that combines spectacular flowering, low maintenance and environmental benefits, Storm agapanthus are a proven performer that will reward you year after year.

• Agapanthus are fire-retardant plants that are a great plant to have around houses and along fence lines in bushfire / wildfire prone areas.
