Agapanthus

Wholesale Agapanthus are elegant, tall-stemmed cut flowers topped with clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers, also known as African Lily, or Lily of the Nile. They are popular for summer weddings, contemporary designs and arrangements where height and movement are required.

Agapanthus are usually available in shades of blue, lilac, white and occasionally deeper purple tones. Their long, clean stems and rounded flower heads make them a useful choice for both modern and garden-style floristry.

Conditioning and Care

To get the best from your wholesale cut agapanthus, please read the care instructions below carefully:

Cut the stems at a 45-degree angle with a sharp knife.
Fill sterilised buckets with fresh, clean water and add flower food.
Benefits of the use of flower food
Place the agapanthus in the buckets.
Leave overnight to condition before using.
Never leave them out of water, as they can dry out easily
Prone to flower drop, to help prevent this, re-cut the stems frequently to keep them a fresh flow of water to the flower head

Never leave cut flowers in direct sunlight, near a radiator, in a draft or near fruit. (The gas used to ripen fruit will harm most flowers). Keep the agapanthus in a cool place and always keep it out of the way of children.
