The Gardener and Plantland's choice: Agapanthus Blue Velvet

Agapanthus Blue Velvet is a standout among its kind! Its rich violet-blue blooms with a dark mid-rib rise elegantly on tall stems, making a striking garden feature.

Position: Full sun, avoid planting in shade.

Height: ±80cm x 80cm

Flowering season: Late summer or early Autumn

Pruning : Flowers should be pruned back to the foliage, cutting the flower stalks down to the base. This will encourage new growth and promote better blooming the following year.

From black & white worries to vibrant colour 🌹✨

Roses deserve to shine — but fungal diseases like powdery mildew, black spot, and rust often get in the way.

Want roses that bloom brighter this spring?
🌿 Try these simple habits to keep them strong and healthy:
1️⃣ Seal pruning wounds with Makhro’s Pruning Seal to reduce fungal risk.
2️⃣ Control aphids season-long with Koinor.
3️⃣ Protect against fungal diseases with Orius RTU.

✨ Small steps = bigger, more colourful blooms all season.
