Madison™ is a stunning large evergreen agapanthus.
From trials undertaken, Madison™ tolerates hot humid conditions better than many other agapanthus and is better suited for tropical and sub tropical climates.
Madison™ has more erect foliage making it ideal as an attractive featured patio pot plant and for mass plantings.
Unlike other Australian bred agapanthus, Madison™ can with certain environmental conditions, send up a second flower scape in the same single plant around mid summer. Repeatability of this second flowering event has yet to be proven but it is very unusual to have a second flower scape emerging out of the same plant at the same point as the first flower scape emerged. This occurred on several plants out of about two dozen plants that flowered in the nursery.
Presentations on our agapanthus and clivia breeding programs were made in USA in 2013. Unfortunately because of commitments back home the visit to the USA was only brief but we thoroughly enjoyed the "Big Apple" and the friendships made. Hence, this agapanthus was named Madison™.
