Planting and care

Agapanthus 'Black Pantha' is grown in full sun in a warm, sheltered, south-facing position. It is drought-tolerant except during its growth period, when you should water it twice a week. Do not water them while the plant is in its winter dormancy, as agapanthus dislikes excessive moisture and does not like waterlogged soil during this period. Place it in a rich, moist but above all very well-drained soil; plant it 30 cm deep in a pot, in leaf mould and compost. Once planted in the ground, do not disturb the agapanthus. In winter, mulch the crowns with a 20 cm layer of dead leaves over the stump and cover them with wire netting to prevent them from being caught by the wind. Snow provides very good protection against any excess moisture and cold. In pots, bring the plant indoors to a sheltered, bright but unheated room. Remove faded leaves in autumn. Cut back the spent flower stems so that the plant does not exhaust itself by producing seed.
