{"product_id":"bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-agapanthus-big-blue","title":"Agapanthus Big Blue","description":"\u003cp\u003eRound heads of deep violet-blue trumpets on strong stems above strap-shaped evergreen leaves, at 1 to 1.5m. Each globe is made of dozens of individual florets, and each floret carries a darker sapphire stripe down the middle, which is what stops a big head of blue reading as a flat blob.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is a three-year job from seed.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sow it this spring and you can reasonably expect your first flowers in the third summer, sometimes the fourth. Anyone wanting blooms this year should buy a plant. Being a seed strain rather than a division, there is also some variation in exactly how deep the blue comes out. What you get in return is a lot of plants for the price of one, and agapanthus that have grown up in your own conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt flowers better when its roots are crowded, so a pot suits it well and there is no hurry to move it on. It needs full sun and sharp drainage, and it dislikes a wet winter far more than a cold one. Sheltered gardens near the coast rarely need protection; cold inland gardens want a mulch over the crown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53195302076749,"sku":"AGA-ABB","price":3.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/Agapanthus_Big_Blue_1.jpg?v=1787241966","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-agapanthus-big-blue","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
