African Lily

Agapanthus Lavender Haze

• Position: full sun
• Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil (or John Innes no. 3 compost for containers)
• Rate of growth: average
• Flowering period: August
• Flower colour: lavender
• Other features: excellent as cut flowers
• Hardiness: half hardy
  
  The stiff flower stems are held above dark green, strap-like leaves that form attractive clumps. The flowers can grow up to 30cm in diameter when established and are a lovely lavender-blue colour. This African lily is invaluable for providing late summer interest in a sunny, well-drained border or large patio pot. Where temperatures fall below zero, container grown specimens should be overwintered in a frost free place.
