Agapanthus - 40/50cm, 15lt

Agapanthus, better known as African Lily, is an exotic-looking evergreen or semi-evergreen perennial with shiny, narrow, strap-like, green foliage, and white, purple or blue trumpet-shaped flowers clustered together. They appear in summer or early autumn on stiff, upright stalks. African Lily thrives in full sun and fertile, moist, well-drained soil, but it tolerates wide range of conditions. It is easy to grow, pest-free and disease-free. As it leans towards the sun, south-facing location would be the best. In winter, it should be protected with a layer of dry, sand and straw, mulch. Evergreen forms usually need shelter of a greenhouse. Agapanthus is perfect for flower beds and borders in combination with other colourful perennials, or as a specimen plant in a container. Suitable for city gardens and coastal areas as it can withstand air pollution and is resistant to windy and salty air.
