Agapanthus is commonly referred to as the Nile lily, or African lily. These bold and vibrant plants have become increasingly popular in recent years. They fit perfectly into any floral arrangement.
Agapanthus is a perennial plant that is typically grown for its impressive flowers. The most common varieties are purple and blue, but pink and white are also found.
Agapanthus comes from South Africa. Deciduous varieties are from the colder regions of the north. Leaves will help you find out the homeland of your flower. As a rule, agapanthus, which grows in the warm part of Africa, has thin green leaves and huge peduncles.
Agapanthus can be propagated by dividing the bulb or by seed. It usually takes two years after planting for the flower to start growing. This plant is evergreen with thin leaves and requires careful maintenance. For a good root system, this flower needs fertile, well-drained soil and sunlight. Can be grown in pots and containers on home windowsills. It is worth avoiding abundant watering, otherwise you will only get foliage without peduncles.
If you are planting agapanthus in a garden or greenhouse, it is worth taking care of winter care. It is necessary to carefully cover the flower from frost.
