Growing Guide
Plant in a sunny, sheltered position in fertile, well-drained soil. Agapanthus performs best in full sun and dislikes prolonged winter waterlogging. Water regularly while establishing and during extended dry spells, especially when grown in containers.
Feed during the growing season with a balanced fertiliser to encourage healthy growth and abundant flowering. Remove spent flower stems after blooming and tidy older foliage in spring as new growth emerges.
Wildlife
The nectar-rich flowers attract bees and other pollinating insects, making this an excellent addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.
Why We Love It
'Ever Sapphire' combines the elegant flower heads of traditional agapanthus with a naturally compact habit, making it easy to enjoy in gardens of all sizes. Its rich blue flowers and evergreen foliage provide long-lasting ornamental value from summer through the rest of the year.
