Description
Agapanthus 'Ice Lolly' blooms from July to August. It offers beautiful globular umbels with a diameter of 15cm. The flowers, trumpet-shaped, are yellow when in bud, white when fully open. Cut and placed in a vase, they will bring freshness to your home. The foliage of the Agapanthus is evergreen in mild climates. It remains decorative all year round.
Not very hardy (up to -5°C (23°F)), plant Agapanthus in a large pot placed on a sunny terrace for abundant flowering. In the ground, prefer a warm exposure in a border, in a perennial flower bed, or in a mass planting. It can even be grown on its own. It is a plant that thrives by the seaside, in an English cottage, and even in a city garden.
At maturity, the 'Ice Lolly' Agapanthus can reach a height of 80m (2ft 6in) and a width of 40cm (16in). This perennial is native to South Africa.

Planting and care
The 'Ice Lolly' Agapanthus is grown in full sun in a warm, sheltered, south-facing location. It is resistant to drought. Plant it in a soil that is rich and moist, but above all, very well-drained in winter. Water Agapanthus regularly during the growth period (twice a week). However, avoid watering them while the plant is dormant. In winter, Agapanthus is sensitive to excessive moisture and does not like waterlogged soil. That is why it is recommended to mulch the base of the plants with a layer of dead leaves, about 20cm (8in) thick, and cover them with a mesh to prevent wind damage. Snow is also a good protection against excessive moisture and cold. If grown in a pot, bring the plant indoors for protection. When planting, place it at a depth of 30cm (12in) in a pot with leaf compost, as the roots are fleshy. Once established in the ground, do not disturb Agapanthus. Remove faded leaves in autumn. Cut back the flower stems so that the plant does not exhaust itself producing seeds.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
