The blue jewel lily or also called "Agapanthus africanus" is originally an African plant that has now also found its home in Europe. This variety is particularly suitable for keeping in pots or outdoors. Depending on the weather and temperatures throughout the year, the agapanthus sometimes flowers in the same year as it was planted. Flowering time is usually in late summer and lasts until September/October. Once the beautiful flower clusters have developed, they glow in their striking blue colour and decorate your garden for weeks as a real eye-catcher. The umbel-like flowers grow on long stems up to a height of 80-100cm. Jewel lilies are also popular as cut flowers.
The lily does not make any special demands on the soil, it should only be well drained and supplied with nutrients from time to time. You will be rewarded with a rich flowering. Agapanthus is very happy in a sunny position, but is only partially frost hardy and can withstand temperatures down to a maximum of -15°C. In a protected spot in well-drained soil, the plant will make it through the winter. If you keep the plant in the cold, let it overwinter in a cool and frost-free place.
The plants are grown in pots, so you can use them all year round. For 1 square metre you will need about 6 plants.
