Comment |
Erect Form. Pruning Group 14. "This clump-forming perennial is a selection of Agapanthus from the Crown Estate, Windsor, and is a hybrid that produces a round cluster of deep blue, trumpet-shaped flowers on single, leafless, upright stems in late summer and early autumn. The flowers are held 1.2-1.5m (4-5ft) high above grey-green, strap-shaped leaves that form a basal clump. Grow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun. In cold areas, mulch hardy hybrids in winter. In containers, grow in loam-based compost. Water freely when in growth, sparingly in winter. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly from spring until flowering. Agapanthus can be shy to flower if subjected to drought conditions following flowering. To ensure a good display next year, keep plants moist until autumn after flowers start to fade, which will encourage the development of new flower buds. Divide the clump to propagate as they will not come true from seed. Divide within February to April, or after plants have finished flowering. Avoid splitting plants too often as this will reduce flowering - large clumps should only be split every four to six years. Agapanthus species can be propagated by seed. Collect pods as they turn brown and allow them to split apart indoors. Store and sow in the spring. They will flower in two or three years." from Royal Horticultural Society. "With South African origins they are all sun lovers, but they would be used to summer rainfall so we suggest they will do better where they aren't too dry. Hence lots of organic matter in the soil to hold the moisture will pay dividends. From division it does sometimes take a while for an Agapanthus crown to flower well again, so expect better flowers in the second year. The bigger forms need planting about 15" apart. To get a more immediately full effect you might cram them in rather tighter together in pots. Remember though to give the pot regular watering through the summer and some liquid feed occassionally." from Avon Bulbs. "Steve Hickman runs the Hoyland Plant Centre in South Yorkshire (somethingforthe garden.co.uk) and grows only agapanthus and tulbaghias, having a National Collection of both. He believes his A. Headbourne hybrids are true to type. He propagates by tissue culture (micropropagation) or division. He sells clumps of rhizomes from mid-September to April (if you collect) or sends out 9cm (3½in) and two-litre pots all year round. He reckons that although they are easy to grow, if you follow four simple rules they will exceed your expectations rather than disappoint. Most critically, make sure they have good drainage. In pots he uses two parts of compost to one part of coarse sand or gravel. Where they grow naturally in South Africa, on cliff tops, crevices and ledges, there is precious little soil. Restricting them makes the plants flower sooner, but when they mature over several years in the open ground, they get to their full size. In containers, even when they are fully mature they will not get to their ultimate size because of the bonsai effect, unless it’s a very large container or a dwarf agapanthus. This is why plants directly planted in the border can take years to flower reliably, but when they do their flowers are more spectacular. Thirdly, feeding is key. High potash feeds, such as the one Hoyland sells for agapanthus (which is 30 per cent potash and trace elements), applied every three or four weeks in the growing season, with a general feed twice or so in the summer, will keep the flowers coming. The fourth factor is overwintering. Those evergreen types in containers can have a last watering in early November and about a fortnight later the containers and plants should be wrapped in fleece and put in a polytunnel or greenhouse – if not available, a shed with some light is fine. Deciduous types can cope with a dark shed. They can be unwrapped around the end of March. For those in the ground (evergreen and deciduous), a foot or so of bark mounded over the plants, letting it settle around the leaves (lift them as you apply it) insulates the rhizomes from severe temperatures. The exposed leaves will go mushy but the plant will survive. I was amazed at the drifts of tall, stunning agapanthus at Harlow Carr – even that far north after the 2011 winter. They are tougher and more vigorous in a border than I had realised." from The Telegraph. Available from Avondale Nursery , Avon Bulbs and Shoot in the UK.
"Hoyland Plant Centre We are a small family run business with our nursery situated at the foot of the Pennines in South Yorkshire where we have been for the last 28 years. We have had Agapanthus at our nursery for countless years but my interest was given a kick start when I was given a giant blue and a giant white agapanthus that was in full flower as a present 15 years ago. I immediately became fascinated and we have been collecting them ever since. Since then most of our nursery has been devoted to the cultivation and propagation of Agapanthus along with Tulbaghia. We have over 500 cultivars in our collection which we believe to be the most comprehensive in the UK. Our National Collection covers both Evergreen and Deciduous types along with our own cultivars and is the only National Collection which covers all types of Agapanthus. " from Hoyland Plant Centre. |
