Product description
Agapanthus 'Fireworks', sometimes known more commonly as the African Lily or Lily of the Nile, is a somewhat compact, clumping-forming perennial plant with very distinctive blooms growing in rich, dense clusters above the strap-shaped, mid-green foliage which grows in mounds beneath tall, rigid stems bearing trumpet-shaped, slightly nodding flowers with bicoloured purple and white petals. A slightly smaller variety of the species perfectly suited for container planting or as part of flowering shrub beds.
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.

Mulch or use horticultural fleece to protect the plant’s roots against frost damage in winter.
How to Water
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist between spring and early autumn. Provide water more sparingly outside the growing season.
How to Plant
Choose a sunny sheltered spot and ensure the soil drains freely. Dig a generous hole and position the plant inside, planting with the crown just below the surface. Fill the hole in with soil, gently firming with your foot and water in well.
