Agapanthus Africanus White
M5071
Description
Grow chic, tall stems of bobbing white globes with Agapanthus ‘Africanus White’.
Umbels of stunning, pure white flowers bloom between June and August, bringing an elegant look to planting schemes, and suiting both contemporary and traditional gardens.
The graceful stems are perfect for cutting and adding height, shape and texture to summer floral arrangements and bouquets, just as they do in the border.
Agapanthus can be grown in large containers of well-drained soil and as part of a mixed, herbaceous bed. Protection from frost is advisable in colder regions by bringing containers inside, or by mulching the crowns.
Care Guide
Elegant Agapanthus are best grown in large terracotta pots or containers, in a sunny spot. Fill containers with loam-based soil, enriched with organic matter. Plant rhizomes 20cm deep and 15cm apart, ensuring they rest 5cm below the surface. Maintain soil moisture with regular watering, never allowing soil to become waterlogged. Sturdy stems of spectacular white or blue umbels will reach heights of 60-90cm in late summer. Only re-pot if the plants are pot bound. Half-hardy Agapanthus require crown protection during winter with a thick layer of straw or mulch. In colder regions, containers should be brought undercover for the winter months.
