Showy globes of trumpet-shaped flowers, ranging in colour from deep to pale blue, appear from July to September on straight stems above clumps of strap-shaped, mid-green leaves. Headbourne hybrids are a particularly fine variety of African lilies, ideal for a sunny well-drained border or a large patio pot. - Garden care: Keep well-watered during the growing season, applying a balanced liquid fertiliser each month from spring until the plant flowers. Towards the end of September cut back on the watering and feeding to allow the foliage to toughen up, and in cold, exposed areas protect the crown of the plant with a deep, dry winter mulch.
- Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten
