Agapanthus Snowball is a compact, clump-forming perennial known for its pristine white, globe-shaped flower clusters that rise above lush, strap-like green leaves. Flowering during the summer months, this Agapanthus variety offers a refreshing contrast to its deep green foliage, creating a clean and elegant display. The pure white flowers and tidy form make Agapanthus Snowball an eye-catching addition to any garden. This robust plant is both easy to care for and versatile, thriving in a range of garden conditions.
Agapanthus Snowball is perfect for garden borders, paths, or mass plantings, where its bright white flowers add a fresh, crisp aesthetic. It works beautifully in Mediterranean-style, cottage, or contemporary gardens, providing structure and colour throughout summer. This variety also thrives in containers, making it ideal for patios, terraces, or even urban spaces where its elegant flowers can be showcased. As it is drought-tolerant once established, it’s a great choice for water-wise or low-maintenance gardens.
Agapanthus Snowball prefers full sun for optimal flowering, though it can tolerate partial shade. It thrives in well-drained soils but is adaptable to a variety of soil types, including sandy or loamy soils. Once established, this hardy plant is relatively drought-tolerant, but regular watering during dry periods will help it thrive. Space plants about 50 cm apart to allow for their clumping habit, ensuring air circulation and room for growth.
At full maturity, Agapanthus Snowball reaches around 50 to 60 cm in height, with a similar spread. Its compact size and dense foliage make it an excellent choice for smaller gardens or tight spaces, while its rounded clusters of white flowers provide a dazzling display in the summer months.

Notify MeElaeagnus x ebbingei, also known as Ebbinge's Silverberry, is a versatile and dense evergreen shrub that provides both visual interest and functionality in the garden. Known for its glossy, dark-green leaves with silvery undersides, this plant showcases a year-round display of colour and texture. Come autumn, it further impresses with small, fragrant white flowers, followed by edible orange-red berries that attract birds and other wildlife.
Ebbinge's Silverberry is a hardy shrub, highly adaptable and tolerating a wide range of conditions including coastal exposure, wind, and poor soil. Reaching a height and spread of around 3.5m, it's an excellent choice for hedging, screening, or as a standalone feature. It responds well to pruning. Another benefit is that it fixes nitrogen into the soil so the plants around it can benefit too.
