Description
Enjoy the elegance of an African Lily, but in a neater, more compact form with Agapanthus 'Pitchoune White'. This is a superb choice for patios, balconies, rockeries and the front of sunny borders.
The Pitchoune range has been specially grown for a naturally compact habit, while still producing the generous flower clusters and sturdy stems that make Agapanthus so desirable. Bright, strap-like evergreen foliage forms low, tidy clumps, creating a smart base even before the flowers appear. Then, in June and July, elegant blooms rise above the foliage, bringing a cool, refined summer display that looks especially good in pots and containers.
Use it to dress a sunny patio, brighten a balcony, edge a pathway, or add structure to a gravel garden or rockery. It also works brilliantly in mixed summer planting, where its clean, architectural shape helps softer flowers look even better.
Agapanthus love rich, well-drained soil and a sunny or lightly shaded position. Once established, they tolerate dry conditions well, making them useful for warmer patios and free-draining spots. Although hardy to around -5C, protect plants during the coldest winters with a thick autumn mulch, or move container-grown plants under cover when hard frosts threaten.
Top Tips
- You will often get more flowers when the roots are restricted, so this is certainly a plant that does better in a pot, which also makes it easier to protect during the winter.
Care Information
- Feed with a general-purpose fertiliser monthly from spring until flowering, then, from the end of September reduce watering and feeding to allow the foliage to harden.
- In colder parts of the UK, cover the crown of the plant with a deep, dry mulch to protect the plants from hard frosts, or grow in a pot so they can be overwintered in an unheated greenhouse.
