A wonderful white form of African lily with globes of trumpet-shaped flowers from July to September. This bold perennial provides a perfect focal point for a sunny well-drained border or in a patio container. Where temperatures fall below zero container-grown specimens should be overwintered in a frost-free place.

Garden care: Keep well-watered during the growing season applying a balanced liquid fertiliser each month from spring until the plant flowers. Overwinter container-grown specimens in a cool greenhouse or conservatory watering sparingly.
