YouGarden Agapanthus 'Twister' in 9cm Pot

A magnificent and stately Agapanthus with unusual, bi-coloured blooms - a striking combination rarely seen in African lilies and definitely an eye-catching and unique variety.

A plant that you really need for your garden, this recent introduction from Europe has been met enthusiastically by everyone who sees it, and it's easy to see why.

The good-sized clusters of flowers open from white buds, developing into gorgeous trumpets with rich blue bases and white flaring tips to the petals - they look just like a firework display going off in your flower beds and pots.

The flowers emerge on top of robust stems from the luxurious, sword-like leaves and put on a great show from mid to late summer and they're great for cutting - plus the dried seed heads can be sprayed and brought into your home over winter.

Relatively compact for an agapanthus, 'Twister' looks fabulous in a pot on your decking, patio or balcony, so is ideal for people with little space - if you only have room for one plant then this is a definite contender for your attention.

Although this variety is half-hardy, it does not like cold wet weather, so we recommend covering with a thick layer of dry mulch in winter if planted out, or if kept in a pot, moved into a dry, frost-free area if the temperature drops below -5.

We have secured a limited supply of this fabulous garden Diva, so make sure you don't miss out and order yours today.

Top Tips

• You will often get more flowers when the roots are restricted, so definitely a plant that does better in a pot (plus it can be moved out of the worst of the winter weather).

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.
