    Many agapanthus cultivars have proven surprisinly cold-hardy for gardeners in the Pacific Northwest.  Agapanthus 'Storm Cloud' (The Saratoga Horticulture Foundation) is no exception, surviving the exceptionally cold winter of 2008-09 with no damage.  Very attractive, large umbels of richly colored tubular flowers open atop sturdy, upright stems.  These stems have black streaking reflecting the influence of the dark flowers. A Great Plant Picks selection.
