PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
Spring: Plant Agapanthus ‘Twister’ in early spring when the soil begins to warm, encouraging vigorous root development and robust growth.
Autumn: Alternatively, plant in autumn to allow time to establish itself before the winter months, ensuring a strong start in the spring.
Site Selection
Sunlight: Agapanthus ‘Twister’ thrives in full sun. Ensure the plant receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal flowering and growth.
Soil: Choose well-drained, moist soil. While adaptable to various soil types, good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot and support healthy development.
Planting Instructions
Preparing the Hole: Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball of the plant and deep enough to accommodate the roots.
Soil Preparation: Enhance soil quality by mixing in compost or organic matter, improving drainage and fertility.
Planting: Place your Agapanthus ‘Twister’ in the hole so the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with soil and gently firm it to remove air pockets.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to help settle the soil around the roots and promote establishment.
Watering
Growing Season: Once established, Agapanthus is drought tolerant. Water moderately during dry spells to maintain flower production and plant health.
Dormant Season: Reduce watering as your Agapanthus enters dormancy, ensuring the soil remains slightly moist but not waterlogged.
Feeding
Spring: Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support new growth and vibrant blooms.
Mid-Summer: A light feeding in mid-summer helps sustain flowering throughout the growing season.
Pruning
Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and keep Agapanthus ‘Twister’ looking neat.
Autumn: After the final bloom, cut back Agapanthus ‘Twister’ to ground level to prepare the plant for dormancy.
Mulching
Spring: Apply mulch around Agapanthus ‘Twister’ to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Winter: Mulch in winter helps protect the roots from cold temperatures and stabilizes the soil.
Supporting the Plant
Staking: Agapanthus ‘Twister’ has sturdy stems but may benefit from staking in windy areas to prevent damage or bending.
Agapanthus ‘Twister’ is a low-maintenance, versatile plant that enhances any garden with its beautiful bicolored blooms. With the right care, Agapanthus ‘Twister’ will continue to deliver spectacular displays and enrich your garden throughout the growing season.
