Product Information
There's nothing finer than a large Agapanthus in full flower at the height of summer, creating an eruption of brilliant blue. It's the perfect plant for an ornate container and with a little care will last a lifetime. Even before the 1m flower stems appear the bright green strap life leaves are a lovely sight and heighten the expectation of the blooms to come from mid summer.
Agapanthus do best when their roots are restricted so don't be tempted to pot into too large a container - just a little wider than the nursery pot they arrive in will be fine. Place in a sunny spot and enjoy this African native in your garden over summer!

Top Tips
PLants will flower better if their roots are restricted, so if growing in a pot, don't pot on into too big a container.
Leave faded flower stems to add architectural interest to your garden during autumn and winter.
Care Information
- Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly from spring until flowering.
- Towards the end of September ease back on watering and feeding plants in containers to harden up the foliage.
- Protect plants outdoors from severe winter weather by providing a dry mulch of bark chips or straw in late autumn and move container grown plants to a frost-free place.
- Divide overgrown plants in spring but remember plants will flower better when their roots are restricted.
