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.

Agapanthus
'Poppin' Purple'
purple African lily
Let the jazzy two-tone flowers of Agapanthus 'Poppin Purple' make sweet music in your garden this summer! Deep purple buds sit pretty atop a chorus of paler, lilac-striped flowers—and the colour certainly does ‘pop’ against a backing track of snazzy lime green stems. Framed against the bass notes of its glossy dark green foliage, the intense colour will really sing out.
A particularly fast-growing variety, Agapanthus 'Poppin Purple' has a long flowering period, and plenty of blooms—so you expect quite a show from this star performer, provided it has full sun and a well-drained growing position. At 60cm, this flamboyant variety like this would make a great centrepiece for a front garden, perhaps framed by waving grasses—or would happily fit into a herbaceous border to provide mid-height interest. Agapanthus 'Everpanthus® Poppin' Purple' can also be grown in containers, making it versatile addition to any summer scheme.

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.
