Agapanthus Africanus ‘Snow Pixie’ (Lily of the Nile)

A miniature version of the classic Lily of the Nile growing, over a couple of years to 50cm height and spread. It is hardy with strappy green leaves and in late summer balls of white lily shaped flowers.

Plant in full sun in a position sheltered from the north winds. Happy in moist but well drained soil.

N.B. When clipping several plants with the same tool, have a bucket containing a 5% bleach solution and swish your blades around for 30 seconds between plants to sterilise them. This will help avoid the chance of cross contamination of disease.

As with all woody plants, plant high, exposing as much of the taper at the base of the trunk as possible. Allowing soil to accumulate round the base of a tree can be fatal. Keep very well watered when first planted.
