Taylors Bulbs Agapanthus Blue (XL Value Pack)

Also known as Lily of the Nile or the African Lily, Agapanthus Blue produces beautiful trumpet-shaped flowers, clustered together to form balls on top of long, green stalks. Reaching a flowering height of almost 90cm, this particular variety would look stunning at the back of beds or in individual pots around the garden.

Agapanthus grows best when it is planted in well-drained soil in a full sun position; be aware that this particular variety of Agapanthus can spread to over 1 metre, so take care when placing it in beds and borders around other plants.

• Produces blue, trumpet-shaped flowers
• Perfect for pots or borders
• Flowering height of 90cm, but can spread to over 1 metre

Advice & Tips:

• The bulb nose should be covered by approximately 10cm of soil in borders, with 30cm between each bulb. For containers, single plants should be grown in a 9 inch container using loam-based compost.
