Everything You Need To Know About Growing Agapanthus That Actually Thrive
Most agapanthus advice is either too vague (“they’re low maintenance!”) or too technical (soil pH charts that make your eyes glaze over). We prefer the practical middle ground: what actually works in Adelaide Hills conditions, based on watching thousands of plants grow year after year.
Whether you’re planting your first clump or trying to work out why your established ones aren’t flowering as well as they used to, you’ll find straightforward answers here. No jargon, no complicated formulas—just the knowledge we’ve gained from growing Australia’s largest agapanthus collection.

Agapanthus Evergreen Tips
- Watering should be carried out at planting and during first summer. Subsequently winter rains in most areas should be sufficient.
- Fertilize with animal manures and blood and bone. Other standard fertilisers can be used, but we suggest that you read the label to be sure.
- Spacing is recommended at half a metre for large plants and a third of a meter for smaller plants. Various patterns can be adopted where space permits.
- Flower Removal is recommended at the completion of the season.
