A compact, bi-coloured form of Agapanthus or African lily, Agapanthus Twister is a clump-forming, deciduous perennial, ideal for the smaller garden. Strap-like, deep green leaves appear in spring. From July to September, large, globular flower-heads of trumpet-shaped, white florets with a violet-blue base are borne on sturdy stems. African lilies are very good in pots, grown in soil-based compost with slow-release fertiliser granules, as they flower well when their roots are confined, but be aware that pot-grown plants are more vulnerable to frost, so the pots should be brought under cover in winter in colder areas. African lily Twister holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.

The life cycle of hardy cyclamen is unusual. It begins in September when dozens of small pink flowers begin to bloom before the leaves emerge. Each flower is on a separate 4 ” stem and looks just like a miniature florist cyclamen flower with gorgeous reflexed petals. The flowers continue to be produced abundantly in succession through out the months of September and October and sometimes for parts of August and November too. They emerge slowly as the flowers are blooming in late September and take several weeks to reach their full size. “Variable” is an understatement to describe their wonderful shapes, patterns, and colors. They can be round to lance-shaped, lobed or entire, serrated or smooth edged, dark green to silver. And the patterns on the leaves are indescribable. They stay green and fresh all winter! Instead of going dormant in the winter like most of our plants, hardy cyclamen goes dormant for a few months during the summer.
