Agapanthus spp., commonly known as agapanthus or lily of the Nile, is a clump-forming perennial prized for its lush, strap-like foliage and large, globe-shaped clusters of blue, purple, or white flowers. Blooming on tall stems above the foliage, agapanthus adds bold color and architectural interest to borders, mass plantings, containers, and coastal landscapes.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to partial sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, water during extended dry periods
• Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks after blooming and trim away damaged or dead foliage as needed
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring; avoid excessive nitrogen, which encourages foliage over flowers
