#ProPlantTips for Care:

Agapanthus is a summer-flowering bulb that flowers best full sun and appreciates afternoon shade in the warmer growing zones. Provide consistent moisture in a deep, enriched and well-drained environment for best results. These bulbs will rot in excessive water so ensure containers and planters have good drainage. Prune back foliage once it yellows and dig bulbs up in colder growing zones and bring them indoors for the winter as you would Elephant Ear or Calla Lily.

• Full Sun & Partial Shade
• Any Well-Drained Soil Type
• Moist Enriched Environments
• Clean Mounds After Foliage Yellows & Lift Bulbs in Cold Zones
