Agapanthus 'Bridal Bouquet'

African lily

• Position: full sun
• Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil (or John Innes no. 3 compost for containers)
• Rate of growth: average
• Flowering period: July to August
• Flower colour: white
• Other features: excellent cut-flowers; the flowers are followed by ornamental seed heads
• Hardiness: frost hardy (may need protection in winter)
  
  Flowering a little earlier than many other African lilies, this evergreen perennial is useful for prolonging the season. The pretty clusters of white flowers, which appear from midsummer will provide a striking feature in the planting scheme.
  
  
• Garden care: Keep well-watered during the growing season, applying a balanced liquid fertiliser each month from spring until the plant flowers. In cold, exposed areas protect the crown of the plant with a deep, dry winter mulch.
