Plant description
A remarkable agapanthus showcasing a pink blended bloom that stands out from the usual blues and whites of traditional African lilies. Agapanthus Poppin' Pink produces rounded clusters of deep, vibrant pink flowers with a wash of lighter pinks and white, on sturdy upright stems, creating a bold focal point in borders, patio pots and contemporary planting schemes. Its medium-compact habit makes it easy to fit into smaller gardens and container displays, while the long flowering season provides weeks of colour through summer.
Heat and drought tolerant once established, and showing good disease resistance, this reliable perennial is a practical choice for sunny spots where it brings structure, warmth and lasting seasonal interest. Best protected in colder spots from hard frost, it needs good drainage over the winter.
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 Poppin' Pink ('2020/07') (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.
