The stiff flower stems are held above dark green strap-like leaves that form attractive clumps. The flowers can grow up to 30cm in diameter when established and are a lovely lavender-blue colour. This African lily is invaluable for providing late summer interest in a sunny well-drained border or large patio pot. Where temperatures fall below zero container grown specimens should be overwintered in a frost free place.

Garden care: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly
