The right location for the optimal development of the Schmucklilie
The African lily (Agapanthus), which is also known as the lily of the jewel, originally comes from South Africa, but as a container plant in this country it can be late-sintered and winted early. Properly magnificent, this grateful plant only blooms at a suitable location.
The lily is thankful for a lot of sun
The more sun-kissed you place your Agapanthus in the garden, the more she will thank you for the flowering time during the summer. After hibernation, however, it can sometimes come to a so-called sunburn in the form of yellow spots on the leaves. To avoid this, you should clear your lilies on a cloudy day from the winter quarters to the outside, so that they can gradually get used to the intensity of sunlight.
Factors for the formation of flowers
In the case of lilies, the abundance of flowers is due not only to the sun's rays but also due to the following factors:
As the rhizome of the lily grows, you should multiply the plant every few years by splitting the rootstock.
Tips & Tricks
In climatically very mild locations, the African lily can be overwintered under certain circumstances in the field. But it must be (as generally) a loose soil without susceptibility to waterlogging.
