  A wonderful variety of African lily bearing rounded heads of dark, blue trumpet-shaped flowers from July to September. This bold perennial provides a perfect focal point for a sunny, moist but well- drained border. With handsome, ornamental seed heads and clumps of strap-shaped, mid-green leaves that are retained all year it provides a particularly long season of interest.
  
  
• Garden care: Keep well-watered during the growing season, applying a balanced liquid fertiliser each month from spring until the plant flowers. Over-winter container-grown specimens in a cool greenhouse or conservatory, watering sparingly.
