Agapanthus are hardy, drought-tolerant, and incredibly versatile. Their striking flowers make them ideal for filling sunny spots in gardens or pots.
Position
Plant in full sun for the best flowering results. Agapanthus are perfect for hot, dry spots where other plants struggle.
Prepare Soil
Garden: Choose a well-drained location and enrich the soil with compost for a healthy start.
Pots: Use a premium potting mix and ensure pots have good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Feed
Garden: Apply a slow-release fertiliser in spring and mid-summer to encourage vibrant blooms.
Pots: Feed monthly with a liquid fertiliser during the growing season.
Watering & Mulching
Agapanthus are drought-tolerant once established but appreciate regular watering during their first year. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Protection
Remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms and prevent self-seeding. In frost-prone areas, cover plants in winter or grow them in pots to move indoors.
Flowers
Cut agapanthus flowers for stunning summer bouquets. Their long-lasting blooms add elegance to any arrangement. With their resilience and beauty, agapanthus are a must-have for gardens and pots alike.
