I have not grown this plant. Agapanthus x 'Elaine' may be a cross between Agapanthus africanus and Aganpanthus praecox ssp. orientalis. The hybridizer, Archie Armate, is not certain about its heritage. It has dark violet-blue flowers on 4 to 4.5 foot flower stalks. The pompon-like flower heads are 8 inches wide.
