Why Grow Agapanthus?

• Drought Tolerant: Once established, Agapanthus requires minimal watering—ideal for low-maintenance gardens.
• Hardy: Suitable for most UK gardens; best in sheltered spots or containers that can be moved if frost is severe (generally hardy in USDA zones 7–10).
• Cut Flowers: Long stems make these perfect for indoor arrangements.
• Wildlife Friendly: Attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Planting & Care Guide

• Planting Time: Best planted between February and April when risk of frost has passed.
• Location: Prefers full sun but will tolerate light shade. Ideal for south- or west-facing borders and patios.
• Soil Requirements: Well-drained soil; thrives in neutral to slightly acidic conditions (pH 6–7).
• Caring Tips: Water regularly during dry spells in the first season. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring. Remove faded flower stems to encourage further blooming. In colder regions, mulch crowns over winter or move pots indoors.
• Bare Root Planting: Soak roots before planting. Space plants about 30cm apart for best effect.

Create Stunning Combinations
