Agapanthus Timaru
Agapanthus Timaru is a compact, evergreen variety that produces striking dark blue, trumpet-shaped flowers on sturdy stems during summer. Its dense clumps of strap-like green foliage create a tidy and structured appearance, making it a perfect choice for borders, edging, or container planting. The rich, deep colour of its flowers adds a bold and dramatic element to garden designs.
Perfect for modern, coastal, or cottage gardens, Timaru thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. It is hardy, drought-tolerant once established, and low maintenance. Space plants 30–40 cm apart to achieve a neat and uniform display.
Mature size: Grows up to 50–60 cm in height and width, forming a compact, clumping habit.
Trimming: Cut back foliage in late autumn or winter once it has died back naturally. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves during the growing season to maintain a tidy appearance.
Deadheading: Remove spent flower stems after flowering to encourage further blooms and prevent self-seeding, especially if managing invasive tendencies.
Fertilising: Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in spring to promote healthy growth and flowering. Avoid over-fertilising, as this can reduce flower production.
Watering: Water regularly during the establishment phase and dry periods. Established Agapanthus are drought-tolerant but will benefit from occasional deep watering during hot weather.
Pest Control: Check for slugs, snails, and mealybugs. Remove pests manually or use suitable deterrents.
Disease Management: Agapanthus are generally disease-resistant but may develop root rot in poorly draining soil. Ensure soil is well-draining and avoid overwatering.
