Agapanthus africanus, Blue Lily of the Nile, is an evergreen perennial with broad, arching strap-shaped green leaves that grow in large clumps. Lavender-blue flower clusters bloom atop tall erect stalks growing to a height of 30-36 inches. In colder areas this agapanthus makes a good container plant, but in milder winters it adds yearly color accent in outdoor beds.
What light conditions does it need?
It grows best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Plants in more shade will produce fewer flowers.
How often should I water it?
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Once established, it becomes moderately drought tolerant but flowers best with consistent moisture.
What kind of soil is best for Blue Lily of the Nile?
It prefers well-draining soil that’s rich in organic matter. Avoid heavy, clay-based soils that retain excess moisture.
When and how should I prune it?
Remove spent flower stalks after blooming and cut back any damaged or yellowing leaves. Light pruning helps keep the clump neat and encourages future blooms.
