Agapanthus ‘Royal Velvet’ – 2 litre pot

Agapanthus ‘Royal Velvet’ is a tall clump-forming herbaceous perennial that grows up to 90 cm. It has relatively narrow, dark grey-green leaves with a purple staining at the base of the leaves and flower stems. In late summer and early autumn, this plant produces rounded flowerheads with funnel-shaped, deep purple flowers, each petal having a darker central stripe.

Care instructions:
– Avoid planting directly in the frozen soil.
– Container planting is possible throughout the year; use containers that are large and deep enough to prevent roots from freezing in the winter, and ensure there are drainage holes in the bottom of the container. Planting in small containers will lead to plants becoming rootbound.
– Water well after planting. Water well in dry weather. Avoid waterlogged conditions in winter.
– To maintain the plant’s appearance, remove faded flowers by cutting the stem to a strong leaf without leaving it sticking out of the foliage.
– In the spring, remove the dead and damaged leaves from the foliage.
– Feed weekly when the plant is in flowering season.
– Divide the plant every 3-4 years to create new plants.
