What is that white flower, looking stunning (ever slightly floppy) behind my 'Matrona' sedum? Oh, just some agapanthus. Why yes, I DO live in zone 5. Hmm? Oh, yes, agapanthus are generally only hardy to zone 7, at best. Do I bring it inside for the winter? No, this is a hardy version! You didn't know zone 5 hardy agapanthus existed? Well, neither did I until I saw it in the
Arrowhead alpines catalog.

My mother (living in Zone 5) will thank you for this information!
I recognized you from seeing you in many Buffalo photos. I got to your blog via Art of Gardening. I know you must have enjoyed the trip to Buffalo, and I hope to be going to the next location for the bloggers. I just started blogging because your group looks like it has a lot of fun, from what I have seen. I am impressed with you commitment to horticulture and wish you luck in your breeding pursuits.

I'm growing this too and I love it. I've always wished I could grow Agapanthus but I'm just too lazy to grow anything that needs to be dug up and stored over winter. So this one has been a wonderful find. Mine's not quite as big as yours though, and only one of the three is blooming - still, that's not bad for something I planted way too late after letting it sit in the container and wilt for a few months...
Nice Agapanthus.
