Description
With trumpets of softest sky blue that dance on tall and slender stems, the flowers of Agapanthus 'Stockholm' will certainly put you in mind of a stroll along the waterfront of Sweden’s stylish capital, on breezy summers day! The light lavender blue umbels are underpinned by a neat cluster of slim green linear leaves, bringing a classy cosmopolitan look to any garden scheme!
Like all Agapanthus, 'Stockholm' is a clump-forming perennial that will increase in size and flower production from year to year, bringing an elegant display from July through to late August. Grown in full sun for maximum flowering – these plentiful umbels are full of nectar and much loved by pollinators. Another tip – once the flowers have done their thing, if you snip each spend floret off the seedheads, you’ll create vivid green fireworks that will bring ultra-modern architectural vibes to any late-summer cut flower arrangement!

Useful information
-
Soak the Agapanthus 'Stockholm' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your "African lily" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
