Agapanthus Silver Baby

A dwarf form with an evergreen habit. The lovely flowers are silvery white with a pale blue edge. Very suitable for the front of a sunny border or in pots. They may need to be protected in the coldest areas in winter. From 1 litre pots

Planting Instructions

With South African origins the Agapanthus are all sun lovers, but they would be used to summer rainfall so we suggest they will do better where they aren't too dry. Hence lots of organic matter in the soil to hold the moisture will pay dividends. These are young plants and whilst they will flower this summer they will produce more flowers and a bigger crown year on year. Plant 1-2" (25-50 mm) deeper than currently potted and firm in, watering the newly planted plant and allow for a spread of 12" (30cm) in three years. Silver Baby is a more evergreen form so might be more frost affected in the winter than the deciduous forms. The white flowers are about 12-15" (30-40 cm) tall. Protect or mulch in winter in cold gardens. If grown in pots be even more careful in winter, pots freeze more than the ground. To get a more immediately full effect you might cram them in rather tighter together in pots. Remember though to give the pot regular watering through the summer and some liquid feed occasionally.
