Agapanthus africanus, the African lily, is a South African perennial with strappy evergreen leaves and rounded heads of blue flowers held on tall stems in summer. This pack of 24 plants in 11cm pots is a good way to plant a sunny border or a row of containers.
- Flowers: rounded heads of blue flowers in summer
- Foliage: long, narrow, dark green leaves
- Supplied as: 24 plants, 15-25cm tall, in 11cm pots
- Light: full sun to light shade
- Use: sunny borders and containers
Plant in free-draining soil in a sunny, sheltered position and water regularly in the growing season. This species is best given a sheltered position and winter protection when young, and in cold areas is easiest to keep in pots that can be moved under cover.
Supplied as young plants in growing pots, shipped directly from our partner growers. Plants are living products, so size and shape can vary slightly from the photo.
