Agapanthus 'POLAR ICE' African blue lily
Grow agapanthus in fertile, very well-drained soil. In too wet or boggy soil it will most certainly die. The plants benefit from regular watering and fertilizing from spring until end of summer. Though, once established it withstands drought. In the Mediterranean it belongs to the top favourite summer blooming plants. In our gardens it will be a perfect flowering feature along pathways, at swimming pools, and near patios where you spend most of your relaxing time in summer.
Polar Ice is a hardy variety and all winter protection it needs is heavy mulching. In too cold areas you can double the mulch pile and cover it with a waterproof shelter to keep it from soaking with water and rotting afterwards. Such protection will ensure surviving low minus twenties centigrade. At the end of winter, after danger of severe frosts remove the waterproof cover and half of mulch and in spring when the temperature gets warm remove all mulch and cut off all leaves so that the plant can begin new growth.
