At home at Mathias and Rasmus’, their Grand Oase from Juliana is beautiful all year round - but this summer there is extra life and many colourful flowers. Among other things, this beautiful thing.

 

The African lily, or Agapanthus as they are also called, thrive fantastically in and around our Grand Oase with a dwarf wall, which is located in a sunken garden space and therefore protected and sheltered during the winter. Here we can keep a temperature that is never below minus 4 degrees in the wintertime, and without any other additional heat than a few candles. The African lilies seem to thrive in that environment. We care for them with plenty of water and fertilizer and they are in pots that are not too large. Agapanthus likes to be placed densely to each other. Now in July, the African lilies are of course out, and they are just unfolding their blue flowers to the great joy of us and not least the bees.
