Description

The 'Celebration' Agapanthus is a variety that will offer you its delicate pale blue bell-shaped flowers throughout the summer. Its elongated, tender green and glossy leaves are deciduous. The plant can withstand temperatures as low as -10°C (14°F) to -12°C (10.4°F), making it more suitable for outdoor use than evergreen varieties. A rich, not too dry, acidic to neutral soil in sunny conditions will ensure its harmonious growth, and it will also perform well in pots.

 

The 'Celebration' Agapanthus is part of a widely spread genus in mild climate gardens, Agapanthus, which belongs to the botanical family Amaryllidaceae (formerly known as Liliaceae). This genus includes 7 species native to South Africa, where they grow in open coastal environments. The thick fleshy rhizomes produce long and arching bright green linear leaves, from which large stems emerge in summer. At their tips, numerous violet, blue or white flowers are gathered in spectacular umbels. Nurseries have done significant selection and hybridization work for decades, resulting in varieties with various colours, denser habit, and improved hardiness. Evergreen Agapanthus are generally the most common in commerce, but deciduous leaf hybrids, which are the hardiest, can also be found.

The 'Celebration' variety is a result of crosses with the botanical species Agapanthus inapertus (the closed flower Agapanthus), which as its name suggests is characterized by very closed trumpet-shaped flowers that are slightly trailing. In 'Celebration', these flowers have a rare and delicate pale blue or lilac hue, and are produced between June and September depending on the climate. The plant, of medium stature, will reach approximately 70cm (28in) in height when flowering, with a diameter of 50cm. It belongs to the deciduous leaf varieties, thus showing resistance to moderate frosts (-10 to -12°C (14 to 10.4°F)).

 

The cultivation of 'Celebration' Agapanthus is relatively simple: it prefers an acidic to neutral, moist but well-drained and rather rich soil. While the plant tolerates summer drought, avoid letting the substrate completely dry out to maintain flowering. The clumps spread slowly. Its hardiness is quite good, but it requires planting in rockeries under not too cold climates or in very sheltered locations such as a patio. If your region is too cold, pot cultivation in a cold greenhouse is recommended. For colourful and exotic scenes, combine it with other Agapanthus varieties like 'Ever Sapphire', dark blue, or 'Queen Mum', white, but also with Beschorneria septentrionalis, Agave neomexicana, or Yucca rostrata. All of them are exotic plants with respectable hardiness.

Planting and care

Plant Agapanthus stumps by covering them with at least 10cm (4in) of good soil so that they are more resistant to the cold. It is essential to install them in spring and preferable to mulch them in winter in most of our regions. For pot cultivation, use 5 young plants for a 24cm (9in) pot and shelter your pots in winter. They prefer a rich and moist but well-drained soil, enriched with sand. Water them regularly during the growth period (twice a week). Avoid watering them afterwards. They are sensitive to winter humidity. This variety is hardy up to -10/-12°C (14/10.4°F) in a sheltered position and thrives particularly well in flower borders and containers. Use a well-drained sandy mix, slightly acidic. This plant seems to prefer shallow but wide containers and will flower abundantly if regularly fed with slow-release fertilizer.
