Care Instructions

How to care for Agapanthus

  • Once your Agapanthus has finished flowering, cut off the flowers and leave the foliage to die back naturally.
  • You can clip off any unsightly leaves once they've browned. It won't harm the Agapanthus if you trim the ends of the leaves also. 
  • By the Autumn, you can remove all spent foliage. 
  • Feed with a high potassium fertiliser.
  • You can cover your Agapanthus with some dry mulch over winter. If you are prone to a wet and cold climate, we recommend growing these in pots so that you can move your pots under shelter and protect them from frosts during the winter. 
  • You may need to protect your agapanthus against slugs and snails.
