Product description
Agapanthus ‘Queen Mum’ is a stunning variety of African Lily and stands out from the rest with its unique dual coloured flowers. A somewhat compact perennial with thick, green strap-like leaves and tall stems that tower above the foliage bearing rounded clusters of small green-white buds that bloom into funnel-shaped white flowers with a violet-blue flush at the base of each one. This Agapanthus is well suited for coastal areas and will tolerate salty sea air.
Plant in moist, well-drained soil and keep in full sun. Quite hardy but should be kept sheltered from high winds and harsh Winter frosts. Mulch well to help protect during the colder months. Works well as a container plant.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. Ongoing plant maintenance within our nursery is essential, meaning some lines are pruned back at certain times of the year to encourage new growth.

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.
