Agapanthus Snow Crystal | 9cm Pot

Large heads of white flowers. Position: full sun Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil (or John Innes no. 3 compost for containers) Rate of growth: average Flowering period: July to September Hardiness: half hardy (will need protection from frost in winter) This relatively new form has semi-evergreen foliage, and large heads of white trumpet-shaped flowers, which appear on the upright stems in mid- to late summer. It looks wonderful when used in pots, but it is also ideal for lining the edges of a pathway or filling gaps in a sunny border. Garden care: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly from spring until flowering. 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 areas, protect the crown of the plant with a deep, dry mulch to protect them from hard frosts, or grow in a pot so they can be overwintered in an unheated greenhouse. Keep in mind that although they are evergreen in milder climates, the foliage may be killed off by low temperatures. Divide plants that have become too big in spring, but remember you will often get more flowers when the roots are constricted.
