PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
  • Spring: Plant Agapanthus ‘His Majesty’ in spring to give the roots time to establish before the growing season.
  • Autumn: Alternatively, plant in early autumn to allow roots to develop before winter dormancy.
Site Selection
  • Sunlight: Agapanthus thrives in full sun. Ensure it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal flower production.
  • Soil: Choose well-drained soil to prevent water logging. Agapanthus adapts to various soil types but prefers a soil that is rich in organic matter and slightly acidic to neutral for best growth.
Planting Instructions
  1. Preparing the Hole: Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and deep enough so the crown of the plant is level with the soil surface.
  2. Soil Preparation: Mix compost or organic matter into the soil to improve drainage and nutrient content.
  3. Planting: Position the plant in the hole, ensuring the roots are spread out. Backfill with soil, firming it gently to remove air pockets.
  4. Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil and encourage root establishment.
Watering
  • Growing Season: Once established, Agapanthus ‘His Majesty’ is relatively drought tolerant. Water moderately during dry periods to maintain healthy foliage and flower production.
  • Dormant Season: Reduce watering during dormancy, keeping the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged.
Feeding
  • Spring: Apply a balanced fertiliser at the start of the growing season to promote strong growth and vibrant blooms.
  • Mid-Summer: A light feeding mid-season will support continued flowering and robust growth.
Pruning
  • Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage new blooms and keep your Agapanthus looking tidy.
  • Autumn: After the last bloom, cut back foliage to ground level to prepare the plant for winter dormancy.
Mulching
  • Spring: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
  • Winter: Mulch can help protect the roots from frost, ensuring the plant’s health and vitality for the next growing season.
Supporting the Plant
  • Staking: While Agapanthus ‘His Majesty’ generally has sturdy stems, consider staking in exposed areas to prevent wind damage and keep the tall flower stems upright.

Agapanthus ‘His Majesty’ is a low-maintenance perennial that brings stunning colour to any garden. Its long-lasting blooms and bold foliage make it a standout choice for borders, containers, and focal points. With proper care, Agapanthus ‘His Majesty’ will thrive and provide beautiful displays year after year.
