AGAPANTHUS Blue Heaven

Mid blue flowers over a long period. June-Sept. Ht. 90cm. Sp. 50cm. Impressive evergreen foliage.

This evergreen Agapanthus is normally regarded as tender but would probably survive in coastal gardens and in London. In colder areas plant it in a pot or tub and bring into the conservatory before the frosts. In a heated conservatory it will continue growing through the winter – evergreen varieties produce larger flowers and taller stems if kept in continuous growth

Agapanthus like full sun and rich moist, well-drained soil. They detest dry sand. Agapanthus make excellent subjects for pots and tubs but can also be planted in the border and will thrive and bloom. Contrary to gardening folk law, Agapanthus for optimum flowering do not need to be pot bound
The essential conditions for an abundance of flower are:
1) Agapanthus need to receive an abundance of water in the lead up to flowering – May-July.
2) During May, June and July, Agapanthus should be fed with a high potassium fertiliser every two weeks.
3) Full sunshine in flowering season

Plants dispatched from mid-May

As a general rule, deciduous Agapanthus are hardy whereas evergreen forms can need shelter in the winter. Any variety marked semi-evergreen is somewhere in between and should be given extra shelter in harsh winters. Plants in pots can be sheltered in a greenhouse or outside that isn’t completely dark. Or they can be stored near the house with feet under each pot to insure the best drainage from winter wet. Plants in the ground can be mulched if needed

Agapanthus are great companion plants for Bearded Irises, flowering later with a similar bold statement in the garden. Click here to view our Bearded Iris selection
