Growing to approximately 60cm in height, Agapanthus Bloemfontein delivers impressive garden performance without requiring excessive space. The delicate blue flower heads bring a sense of elegance and movement to planting schemes while attracting bees and other beneficial pollinators.

Growing Agapanthus Bloemfontein
Agapanthus Bloemfontein thrives in a sunny position with fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Full sun encourages abundant flowering and helps produce sturdy stems capable of supporting the flower heads. Regular watering during prolonged dry periods will help maintain healthy growth and maximise flowering performance, while good drainage is essential during winter months.
As a deciduous variety, the foliage naturally dies back in autumn before fresh growth emerges in spring. Remove spent flower stems after flowering and tidy away old foliage once it has completely died back. A protective winter mulch is beneficial in colder areas and will help encourage vigorous regrowth the following season. Container-grown plants perform particularly well and can be moved to a sheltered position during severe winter weather.
