This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
"Plant in a sunny border, mulch with gravel, and wait for the soft-blue touch paper of the African lily to ignite - they’re evening stars of August."

Hello there There is a good chance that it will, but sorry we cannot guarantee this as it does depend on external factors such as how much sun the plant gets, where it is planted, water, nutrients etc. but hopefully it will.

Hello there As this agapanthus is not fully hardy I would wait until the spring to plant it in the garden after the last of the frosts. If it is going into a container, you can plant now and keep it in a frost free spot such as a greenhouse.

Hello, These plants do like as much sun as possible to flower well, so if it was only recently planted last year, it may have been producing its flowers on stored energy. If possible I would move it to a sunnier spot, and feed it with a high potash fertiliser to give it a bit of a push.

Hello, Agapanthus africanus is one of the less hardy types, so it (unlike the hardier forms) tends to retain its foliage throughout the year.

Hello there Yes it sounds a lovely idea, as long as the area is in full sun. These agapanthas are half hardy, so they will need protection from any frosts in the winter. Hope this helps

Hello, These plants do not require any pruning apart from removing foliage that has died back.

These lovely plants produce a succession of lily-like flowers each of which lasts for just one day. At first, this seems rather disappointing, but they are such bright, exotic flowers and produced in such profusion that this isn't actually a drawback. In

When we are all, hopefully, enjoying the hotter more humid days in July and the longer evenings there is a different range of plants that come into their own in our gardens, ones found naturally close to the equator or in the upper reaches of the Souther

You can never quite predict how severe our winter weather will be. In the absence of a crystal ball, it is best in October to make contingency plans to help your plants to survive while there will still be some warmth in the sun and the soil. Hardiness is
