Agapanthus ‘Polar Ice’ (African Lily)

Agapanthus ‘Polar Ice’ (African Lily) is a clump-forming, herbaceous perennial producing large rounded clusters of trumpet-shaped, pure white flowers. They sit on sturdy, upright stalks above a clump of beautiful, fresh green, strap-shaped leaves. Brightening up the garden for weeks from mid-summer to early fall, this elegant Agapanthus remains attractive, even when the plant is not in bloom. Remarkably resilient, ‘Polar Ice’ is one of the hardiest white Agapanthus and can survive temperatures well below freezing.

• Easy to grow, pest and disease free, this African Lily grows up to 24-30 in. tall (60-75 cm) and 12-24 in. wide (30-60 cm).
• Thrives in full sun in fertile, moist, and well-drained soil. In a hot climate area, Agapanthus will do better in partial shade. Bear in mind that most varieties will lean toward the sun, which makes a south-facing border the best location. Do not allow plants to dry out except when dormant.
• Spectacular when planted in great swathes, this Agapanthus fits most garden settings or mixed borders, makes a fantastic accent plant in containers, and has excellent cut flowers! A great choice for coastal areas as African Lilies cope well with windy and salty air.
• Deer and rabbit resistant, it attracts butterflies, bees, and birds.
• In late fall remove or tidy up any remaining leaves, but seedheads can be left as they look attractive over winter.
• Propagate by division every three to four years in spring.
• Agapanthus is native to Southern Africa.
• African Lilies are poisonous and should not be consumed by humans and pets.
