Plant in full sun to light shade and irrigate regularly to occasionally. Hardy and evergreen to 20-25 degrees F and should be root hardy with mulching to considerably lower. This cultivar is a tall plant with long flower stems useful for cut flower use. It has remained evergreen for us the has been known to also drop leaves just prior to new ones emerging.

It received US Plant Patent PP26,429 in February 2016 and is marketed in the U.S. by Ball Horticulture. We first received this plant to trial in 2014 and are selling off our trial plants. We have not yet decided to continue to offer this cultivar but it is both unique and attractive.  Information displayed on this page about  Agapanthus 'Hanneke' PP26,429 is based on the research conducted about it in our library and from reliable online resources.
