African Lily

Agapanthus Glen Avon

• 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 September
• Hardiness: half hardy
  
  This is a new variety, with huge globes of trumpet-shaped, bright blue flowers with dark stripes on each petal that appear from July to September. The flowers are held on straight stems above bold clumps of evergreen, strap-like, mid-green leaves. These beautiful African lilies provide valuable late summer interest in a sunny, well-drained border or large patio pot.
  
  
• Garden care: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly from spring until flowering. In cold areas, protect the crown of the plant with a deep, dry mulch. Divide plants in spring.
