Taylors Bulbs - Black Buddhist Agapanthus Bulbs

Black Buddhist is a hardy Agapanthus variety and is very low maintenance once established, making it the perfect choice if you're looking to add darker flowers to your garden's beds, borders and containers. Thriving in sunny gardens, this variety will produce umbels of trumpet-shaped flowers in various shades of purple and blue, reaching an eventual height of approximately 90cm.

Also known as the African Lily, Agapanthus is very tolerant to drought, and is a popular choice for gardeners who wish to invite wildlife to their garden, as the pollen-rich flowers are attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.

Key Information:

• Plant in a sheltered position in full sun.
• 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.
