Agapanthus Twister (‘Ambic001’) (PBR) | 2L Pot

A new form with bicoloured 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: frost hardy (may need some protection in winter) The bicoloured flowers of this African lily are really eye-catching. Opening from white buds, each one forms a good-sized, blue-based trumpet, with flaring white petal tips. These form in generous clusters, which top the upright stems, which emerge in mid- to late summer above the clumps of strap-shaped foliage. It looks wonderful when used to line the edges of a pathway – and it’s super-easy to grow in a pot. 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. Divide plants that have become too big in spring, but remember you will often get more flowers when the roots are constricted.
