Product Description
Melbourne' is a stunning variety of Agapanthus producing purple buds that open in August to reveal beautiful white flowers with a lilac stripe throughout each petal. The flowers sit in a cluster above lance shaped foliage to provide a wonderful display within the summer garden at a height of 1m on sturdy stems. Also known as the African lily, these are drought tolerant and like well- drained soil and plenty of sunlight. We recommend planting within the garden border or within containers to create a feature on patios or decking. They can also be cut and used as part of an elegant floral arrangement for within the home. First grade loose rooted plants supplied.

Growing at a glance…
To plant loose rooted agapanthus, start by soaking the roots in a bucket of water for 1-2 hours beforehand. Then, dig a hole in the border that’s big enough to house the root system. If you’re planting them in pots, then fill a large pot halfway with soil, adding the crown of the plant pointing upwards. Ensure the crown is just below the soil. Water well once planted. Loose rooted agapanthus should be planted in spring directly into the garden somewhere that gets plenty of sunshine.
