Today, Agapanthus have their own Family, Agapanthaceae, but for the last 220 years they were moved around from group to group, until it was concluded that they were distinct enough to warrant a new category. This almost-black Agapanthus hybrid variety was purchased so long ago, I cannot recall its name. The rich color seduced me, and my wallet was considerably lighter after that nursery outing. Well worth it, though, as my mother has at least quadrupled the original rhizomes. http://www.plantzafrica.com/plantab/agapanthcod.htm
