  • Notes

This cultivar of Agapanthus africanus is the same as the Lily of the Nile except it blooms white flowers, not blue. It will grow in all soils but prefers loam soil.
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
