Product description
A more compact variety due to its shorter flower stalks, the Agapanthus 'Double Diamond' or African Lily makes up for this with brightly coloured and distinctive blooms. A clump-forming semi-evergreen perennial shrub with mounded, strap-shaped, mid-to-dark green foliage which sits beneath the smaller than average stems which carry umbels of pure white double flowers with a funnel shape which appear around the end of the Summer and into the early Autumn months.
Plant in moist, fertile, well-drained soils and keep in full sun in a sheltered position. Frost protection such as mulching is highly advised if planting outdoors. Container planting is another good option allowing the plant to be moved under glass in colder Winter weather.

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.
