Planting Agapanthus

About

Agapanthus grow many stems once established with large heads which bloom full of trumpet shaped flowers in bold colours. Their flowers are very showy and are sometimes referred to as African Lilies for their shape and South African origin. No garden, regardless of size, should be without these hardy perennial plants and they will look great in borders or as a patio display grown in containers. Their terrific vivid colours and interesting looks make them great for flower arranging, and they will work well as cut flowers.

0:00 hi my name is Hannah work for J

0:01 Parkers and today I'm going to show you

0:03 how to plan loose rooted agapanthus so

0:06 the best time to do this is spring so

0:09 that's any time between sort of March

0:10 and May so I'm going to plant mine in a

0:12 pot agapanthus actually prefer to be

0:14 planted in a pot um and a lot of the

0:17 time they prefer to be root bound as

0:19 well

0:20 um so I'm going to start with this one

0:22 here

0:23 um I'm gonna put some Crocs or gravel in

0:26 the bottom for drainage first

0:29 and then I'm just going to fill it

0:32 with compost so I'm just using normal

0:34 multi-purpose for this so for this I'm

0:37 going to use our plants from The

0:39 agapanthus Collection you can buy this

0:41 collection of 11 plants online so it's

0:43 19 pounds 98 for the collection which

0:46 works out at one point one pound 80

0:48 that's fun so this is how it comes

0:51 um so you want to plant this with the

0:54 roots to spread out as much as possible

0:57 okay and then I'm just going to top that

0:58 off with soya

1:01 okay so that's now all planted up so you

1:03 can just pop this somewhere warm and

1:04 sunny and that'll start coming through

1:07 in the next couple of couple of months

1:08 and it can take up to a year to

1:12 establish so you might not get flowers

1:13 until the second year
