Growing 'Fireworks' Agapanthus

Agapanthus need full sun to perform properly and are not suitable for planting outside in colder areas: here they should be grown in a pot and brought under shelter in winter. Otherwise, if an extensive period of frosts or snow is forecast, it is best to cover them

Suitable for any well-drained soil, they like sharply drained, sandy soil in particular, but they will not flower well if they dry out during the growing season.

You can cut out the flowering stems when they fade, but many people prefer to leave some of them for a while to provide autumn interest, and remove them after winter cold blackens them.

'Fireworks' In Your Garden Design

To really appreciate the intricacies of the petals, grow in a pot, so that they can be admired close up. Otherwise, use in a border to create a violet haze among late-flowering, sun-loving perennials. Would look fantastic in a border against a backdrop of Wedding Day rambling roses or a wisteria like the purple tinged Black Dragon, combined with brilliant daylilies, clusters of Painted Lady irises and alliums like the white 'Nigrum' and/or Purple Sensation. Low growing dianthus would look good at the front.
