The 4 bare root Agapanthus Silver Moon received are too small compared to the Black Pantha pots that I also ordered. There's no comparison. If I had known (or had read the description better) that the bare roots would be limited to a bulb of 5-10 cm maximum, I would have opted for the slightly more expensive pots, but with a plant almost ready to flower in the first or at the latest the second year.

Description
Agapanthus Silver Moon is aptly named. It is a true collector's plant distinguished by its fantastic foliage adorned with light, completely variegated with green and cream-white, particularly wide. This deciduous and hardy bulbous plant is adorned in June-July with numerous medium lavender-blue umbels, carried well above the foliage. Ideal for adding a touch of poetry and a seaside atmosphere to balconies, terraces, and flower beds, or to summer bouquets. It should be grown in full sun, in rich, well-drained, moist to dry soil.
This new hybrid Agapanthus is a bulbous plant of the lily family, relatively hardy and its foliage disappears in autumn.
The Silver Moon variety is an exceptional form, which appears from a distance variegated with silver. The plant develops from a short rhizome with fleshy roots. It forms a sprawling clump, composed of broadly bordered grey-green ribbon-like leaves with white edges, quite wide, deciduous. When in flower, it will not exceed 70cm (28in) in height by 40cm (16in) in width. It is in the heart of summer that its sturdy floral stems appear, crowned with slightly loose umbels, with 20 to 50 lavender-blue flowers. This bulbous plant is hardy up to about -15°C, in well-drained soil and sheltered exposure.
Agapanthus Silver Moon is used in the background of flower beds, surrounded by low-growing perennials with grey foliage for example, or to border pathways, with the feet covered in creeping plants (Cerastiums, Artemisias, creeping Euonymus, Aubrietas). It will also be invited in large pots on the terrace, in a beautiful wide pot that will allow this plant to produce numerous flower spikes. This method of cultivation has the advantage of being able to store it indoors during intense frosts. It is a plant that thrives by the seaside, in an English cottage, and even in a contemporary city garden. Cut and placed in a vase, the flowers and leaves will bring their freshness and originality to the house.

Planting and care
The Silver Moon Agapanthus is grown in full sun in a warm location, in a sheltered spot facing south. Place it in a rich and moist but well-drained soil to optimize its hardiness. Water Agapanthus regularly during the growth period (twice a week) but not at all in winter. Mulch the base with a layer of dead leaves about 20cm (8in) thick, covered with a mesh to prevent wind damage. Snow also provides excellent protection against excessive moisture and cold. If grown in a pot, bring the plant indoors during severe frost, in an unheated room. When planting, place them at a depth of 10cm (4in) in a mixture of leaf soil and compost. Once established in the ground, avoid disturbing Agapanthus. Remove faded leaves in autumn. Cut back the flower stalks to prevent the plant from using energy to produce seeds.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
