Product description

• AGAPANTHUS ROOTS - With this fantastic mixed Agapanthus bulb collection, you will receive 4, 8 or 12 blue and white Agapanthus hardy deciduous herbaceous perennial corm roots. Known as African Lily or Lily of the Nile, these easy to grow flowering plants produce large heads of trumpet shaped flowers loved by pollinating insects, in particular bees and butterflies. These upright growing plants flower during the months of June to September growing between 50 and 120 cm. Please note that quantities and varieties may vary depending on availability.
• HOW TO PLANT AGAPANTHUS - Plant these bulbs in the Spring in fertile, well draining soil in a sheltered spot that receives full sunlight, between 2 to 5 cm deep and 4 to 6 cm apart, with the pointed end facing up and roots downwards. After planting, water well and water about once a week during the growing season. After flowering, cut the spent heads back at the base and remove any dead leaves at the base by hand.
• PLANTING POSITION - These bulbs are great for growing in flower beds, garden borders or in patio pots. Agapanthus look great when planted beside Roses, ornamental grasses and edible herbs. They can be used as cut flowers allowing you to enjoy them in your home and garden. In colder areas, you can protect agapanthus with a heavy mulch around the root zone or move potted Agapanthus indoors, or cover the pot with horticultural fleece or mulch.
• EASY TO STORE - If you are not ready to plant bulbs now, then store them in a cool, dry, frost free, well ventilated location. A garage, shed, loft or cupboard are ideal. Open the paper bag to allow air to circulate round but leave the bulbs in their bags until ready to plant. Just make sure mice or other rodents can’t get access to them. Keep an eye on your bulbs while in storage, if they are showing signs of going soft, it's best to get them planted before they deteriorate any further.
