‘Polar Ice’ is a stunning Agapanthus, that is ready to flower from July until November. It produces bundles of dome-shaped blooms, that are a pure white in colour. They stand tall above lengthy green stems and contrast wonderfully against its clump forming habit of fresh green foliage. The perfect shrub for planting in patio containers and incorporating throughout cottage themed gardens, keep positioned in semi shade and watch it thrive to a height of 120cm, along with a spread of 60cm.
Eliminate the wait for your plants to mature with our XXL Bare Root Plant range. Planting these XXL clumps offers numerous advantages, particularly for achieving a quicker, more impactful and vibrant display, especially with varieties like Agapanthus, Geraniums or Peonies. These larger clumps, of established plants, provide immediate visual impact by having a well-developed robust root system and multiple green buds, all of which are individual plants which will spring to life once you plant them and work together to provide you with a stunning display from the first year of planting. They are also a great way to overcome the chance of losing younger plants to drought conditions as they are more mature and therefore drought-tolerant once planted.
The crystal-white flowers of Agapanthus ‘Polar Ice’ lend a bright sparkle to late season borders and patio containers. Large, rounded heads are adorned with pure white, trumpet-shaped flowers that stand tall above clumps of slender, mid-green leaves.
Grow Agapanthus in rich fertile, well drained soil, in a sunny position. When growing Agapanthus in patio containers use a soil based compost, such as John Innes No.3 .
Plant bareroots at the earliest opportunity following delivery. Should soil conditions prevent planting directly into borders (if soil is frozen or waterlogged), bareroots should be potted up, watered sparingly and grown on in a cool position for planting out at a later date.
Choose a sunny or semi shaded position in moist, well drained soil and work some well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the bareroot with its roots spread out and deep enough that the crown of the plant is just a few cm below soil level. Backfill the hole with soil and firm the plant in gently. Leave a slight depression around the plant - this will help to direct water towards the roots.
