Overview

A sun-loving perennial African lily with globes of deep purple-veined flowers. One of the hardier, deciduous types, this stately agapanthus produces really luscious, royal purple bells, with a near-black stripe along the length of each petal. They open from inky buds that form in loose, open clusters at the top of the sturdy upright stems. A sublime addition to the patio, it also looks great when planted en-masse along the length of a pathway.

Care guide

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. In cold, exposed areas protect the crown of the plant with a deep, dry winter mulch.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
