Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.

Out of season
If want to make a big impression, Agapanthus 'Albiflora' XXL is the answer. Introducing African lilies to your planting schems is always a good call - these perennials will reward you with huge, high-impact summer flowers for years to come. While Agapanthus is known for taking its time to build up a dense root system before it starts flowering, our XXL clumps will yield speedier results. Supplied as a chunky bundle of roots, it's ready to go straight into the ground or a snug-fitting pot, they’ll soon settle in and provide you with such a gutsy show that anyone will think they’ve been growing there forever!
These white African lilies are a real summer highlight, producing large, rounded flower heads on sturdy, upright stems. A great addition to sunny borders in cottage and coastal gardens—they’re also known for enjoying having their roots restricted which makes them a great solution for hot, dry and narrow spaces along south-facing walls as well as large patio pots. To get them to start flowering as soon as possible, don't give them too much space. Agapanthus 'Albiflora' XXL start flowering once the roots feel cramped and confined!

Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
