African Lily

Rounded heads of trumpet-shaped, deep blue flowers from July to September held above bold clumps of strap-like, mid-green leaves. These beautiful African lilies provide valuable late summer interest in a sunny, well-drained border or large patio pot. Where temperatures fall below zero, container grown specimens should be overwintered in a frost free place.Position: full sunSoil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil (or John Innes no. 3 compost for containers)Rate of growth: averageFlowering period: July to SeptemberFlower colour: deep blueOther features: excellent as cut flowersHardiness: half hardyGarden care: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly from spring until flowering.
