---------------------- : ----------------------
With its striking deep blue flower clusters on tall stems, Agapanthus africanus makes a dramatic focal point in Mediterranean-style gardens. It is well-suited to the Algarve climate due to its preference for full sun and tolerance for our clayey soil. It thrives in areas with a winter rainfall pattern similar to that of its native Western Cape in South Africa, where it grows in fynbos ecosystems on rocky slopes and sandy soils. While it can tolerate summer droughts in our heavier soils, it benefits from regular watering during the growing season, particularly in spring and summer. Deep, infrequent drenching (once a fortnight) is more effective than frequent, shallow watering. Improving the soil by adding organic matter will also help it withstand droughts. For optimal growth, it should be planted in full sun and protected from harsh winter frosts (if you experience these in your garden). Fertilise with a liberal application of organic fertiliser in late autumn and Spring.
A More Little More Information

This plant can withstand salty sea winds, making it ideal for coastal gardens. It is also adapted to survive fire and can re-sprout from its thick, fleshy roots. Its low growth habit and lack of substantial vegetation mass make it ideal for planting in fire protection zones around buildings. Agapanthus are better planted in tight groups, 30 cm apart, rather than in the municipal polka-dot style often seen on roundabouts. Every 2–3 years, they can be split in half by cutting through them with a spade, and half of the plant can be replanted in a new position in autumn to create larger beds.
