Plant description
Bring long-lasting colour to pots, borders and sunny patios with this free-flowering African lily, prized for its abundance of elegant violet-blue blooms. Rising above neat clumps of strap-shaped foliage, the flower heads open from rich lavender-blue buds to reveal trumpet-shaped florets marked with a deeper blue stripe, creating a lovely two-tone effect.
Compact by nature, Agapanthus Fairy Blue produces an impressive number of flower stems for its size, delivering a vibrant display from summer well into early autumn. Its tidy habit makes it particularly useful for containers, smaller gardens and mixed planting schemes where space is at a premium but colour is still desired.
Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, this semi-evergreen cultivated variety combines excellent heat tolerance with reliable garden performance, though does need guarding against hard frost and wet, winter conditions. Pollinator-friendly and easy to grow, it brings a steady succession of flowers and a touch of Mediterranean character to gardens large and small.
Please note that any pots in the photographs are not supplied with the plants (which are sent out in simple nursery alternatives), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

How to care for Agapanthus Fairy Blue ('DWAgHyb21') (PBR):
Depending on the location of planting in the UK, these agapanthus can be semi-evergreen and hold onto their leaves in milder winters, though will typically lose them in colder regions or spells of weather. However, wrapping in a double layer of horticultural fleece and mulching around the base can safeguard the roots.
Keep well-watered during the growing season, applying a balanced liquid fertiliser each month from spring until the plant flowers. Towards the end of September ease back on the watering and feeding of plants in containers to allow the foliage to toughen up.
Grow Agapanthus plants in rich fertile, well drained soil, in a sunny position. When growing in patio containers, use a soil based compost such as John Innes No.3.

Please note:
This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
