Product description
Agapanthus Northern Star captivates with its deep blue, star-shaped flowers, each petal adorned with a darker central stripe, creating a striking two-tone effect. These blooms rise above clumps of mid-green leaves, which are uniquely tinged with blue-black at the base, adding an extra layer of visual interest. This perennial is a standout choice for gardeners seeking to add a touch of elegance to their outdoor spaces.
Ideal for sunny borders or container planting, Northern Star thrives in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Regular watering during the growing season, coupled with monthly applications of a balanced liquid fertilizer until flowering, will promote robust growth and abundant blooms. In colder regions, providing winter protection or growing the plant in pots that can be moved indoors during the colder months is advisable.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Agapanthus Northern Star is relatively low-maintenance and can serve as a focal point in garden beds or containers. Its vibrant flowers not only enhance the visual appeal of the garden but also attract pollinators, contributing to the overall health of the garden ecosystem. Whether used in mass plantings or as a singular specimen, 'Northern Star' brings enduring beauty to any garden setting.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
