Agapanthus Aquamarine

One of the shorter varieties and in Agapanthus terms one of the early flowering forms which are in bloom in July and August. Dark flower heads are the the size of large oranges.  Their smaller stature and less leafy habit makes them well suited to pots, but they would be even happier long term in the garden. Agapanthus are the blue summer stars for any sunny garden.

Planting Instructions

With South African origins they are all sun lovers, but they would be used to summer rainfall so we suggest they will do better where they aren't too dry. Hence lots of organic matter in the soil to hold the moisture will pay dividends. From division it does sometimes take a while for an Agapanthus crown to flower well again, so expect better flowers in the second year. The bigger forms need planting about 15" apart. To get a more immediately full effect you might cram them in rather tighter together in pots. Remember though to give the pot regular watering through the summer and some liquid feed occassionally.
