Agapanthus (African Lily)
Spring 2010
Frost-hardy. Evergreen, clump forming perennial. A warm spot with plenty of sun and well-drained
sandy soil is what this plant needs. They only seem to flower when root bound, pots and containers
will create this environment, you can even plunge the pots into the garden by removing the base
of the pot.
Naturally Agapanthus are found growing in the mountainous regions of the western cape, thriving
amongst rocks and sandy soil. Africanus was the first species collected in South Africa, named in
1679 “Hyacinthus Africanus Tuberosus”, entered European gardens in the late seventeenth century
and is now one of the most loved garden plants throughout the world.
Provides beautiful glossy green foliage all year round and produces fantastic showy ball-like
flowers during the months of July to September.

Amarcrinum
Spring 2010
Frost-hardy. Evergreen, clump forming perennial. Thrives in a warm sheltered position, in full sun
and well-drained soil. Needs a good year to settle in, but once well rooted this plant is fantastic.
The flowers are beautiful, 2 –3 stems bearing more than a dozen large funnel shaped fragrant
trumpets, appearing at any time between late July through to as late as November. The foliage is
palm-like and is evergreen in most areas. (a member of the crinum family on page 10.)
Amaryllis
Robust hardy perennial. In cool areas needs to be grown against a south facing wall, in a warm
sunny spot, with well drained soil. Strap leaves appear in spring and die down in early summer.
Flowers will appear in early autumn, producing clusters of 6 - 12 fragrant, funnel shaped blooms.
Native habitat - South Africa.
Although the flowers are real stinkers, amorphophallus are great fun to grow. Once the awful
smelling but entertaining flower has died down up comes this magnificent foliage, which looks like
a miniature palm tree. The stem is mottled like a giraffe’s neck.
