Agapanthus Loch Hope

A vibrant mid blue flower held on typically angled stems quite late in the season. There are various forms of what is supposed to be Loch Hope being sold, these are the real deal and really do flower well despite a reputation provided from the impostor! Deciduous and from division.

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. Plant about 5" (12cm) deep and 24" (60cm) 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 occasionally.
