WATER

Moderate watering. Water regularly while establishing and during prolonged dry spells. Container-grown plants will need more frequent watering in warm weather.

🌱

SOIL

Free-draining, fertile soil or a good-quality loam-based compost. Avoid heavy, waterlogged ground.

REPOT

If grown in containers, repot every 3–4 years in spring. Agapanthus flowers best when slightly root-bound, so only increase the pot size when necessary.
