Product description
An easy to grow perennial and a more compact variety of the species with great flower colour and the chance for repeat blooms later in the season. The Agapanthus 'Poppin Purple', sometimes known as African Lily or Lily of the Nile, is a smaller shrub with clumping, strap-shaped foliage beneath upright stems up to around 50cm with rounded clusters of nodding, trumpet-shaped, rich purple flowers with darker edges and central stripes along each petal which appear around mid-Summer to Autumn.
Grows well in most well-drained soils. Keep in full sun in a sheltered position or as a container plant in colder regions which may then be moved under glass in the Winter months. Water well during growing and flowering seasons. May die back in colder regions but fresh growth will be seen the following Spring.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. Herbaceous plants die back below the soil in the Winter and may be supplied in their dormant state during this time. Fresh growth will be seen the following Spring.

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.

Top Tip
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.
