{"product_id":"agapanthus-africanus-albus","title":"Agapanthus africanus 'Albus'","description":"\u003cp\u003eDESCRIPTION\u003cbr\u003ePerfect for brightening up your borders or beds, and they also make excellent container plants and cut flowers. Perfect for growing as a specimen plant in a container on the patio, it also looks excellent when combined with most coloured perennials in a sheltered border. An elegant, free flowering variety of African lily whose clumps can be lifted and divided every three to five years if required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgapanthus africanus 'Albus' thrive in fertile, well-drained, but moisture-retentive soil in full sun. They are best protected over winter with a dry mulch of sand or straw. A few layers of horticultural fleece can also be used to protect the evergreen varieties. For the best flower displays, feed weekly or fortnightly during the growing season until flowers begin to show colour. Water regularly during the growing season, but only sparingly in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgapanthus can be grown in zones 8a-11b and is moderately salt-tolerant. While is has some resistance to deer browsing, agapanthus is not immune to deer. It is poisonous to humans if ingested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny position planted in free draining soil and well, let them do their thing. For container cultivation it’s best to improve standard multi purpose compost with the addition of around 20% John Inness number 3 compost to the mix. The occasional drench of a good organic fertiliser such as seaweed feed is our favourite too, encouraging healthy grow, flowers and generally maintaining good health of the plant. Occasionally snails and slugs can take a liking to the new growth, not usually a big problem but worth checking. Oh and don’t forget if you get tempted by one of these big beautiful evergreen agapanthus, and who could blame you, please remember to give shelter should really cold weather appear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize:2 Litre pot\u003cbr\u003eMature Height:0.5-1.0m\u003cbr\u003eMature Spread:10-50cm\u003cbr\u003eFlower Colour:white\u003cbr\u003eFlowering Time:Summer - Autumn\u003cbr\u003eFoliage:Semi-evergreen\u003cbr\u003eFragrant:No\u003cbr\u003eGrowth Rate:Average\u003cbr\u003eHardiness:Half Hardy\u003cbr\u003ePosition:Full sun\u003cbr\u003eSoil Moisture:Moist Well-drained\u003cbr\u003eSoil PH:Acid, Neutral, Alkaline\u003cbr\u003eSoil Type:Chalk, Clay, Loam, Sand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seedsplant","offers":[{"title":"30 Seeds","offer_id":51783070646589,"sku":null,"price":3.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Seeds","offer_id":51783070679357,"sku":null,"price":6.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Seeds","offer_id":51783070712125,"sku":null,"price":11.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200 Seeds","offer_id":51783070744893,"sku":null,"price":16.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0107\/1487\/3956\/files\/6391ace427ade714b70fb966024ae804_62709664-8477-4a1c-a9a7-1f3d4f739ee2.jpg?v=1780368354","url":"https:\/\/seedsplant.com\/products\/agapanthus-africanus-albus","provider":"Seedsplant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
