How to Plant Agapanthus
- 1). Select healthy, firm agapanthus rhizomes that show no signs of rot, fungus or insect damage.
- 2). Choose a site in your garden that receives full sun for the morning hours. Cultivate the area with a shovel or spade to a depth of at least 8 inches, and wide enough to space rhizomes 8 inches apart. If your soil is clay-based, amend with equal parts peat and sand for a deep, rich mix.
- 3). Plant agapanthus rhizomes under 1 inch of soil, 8 inches apart. Press the soil down gently with your fingers to close air spaces around the rhizome. Plant in groups of three or more. Water generously after planting.
- 4). Follow the same procedure to plant agapanthus in large containers if you live in a climate where frost can occur. Agapanthus can also be dug up in the fall and replanted the following spring.
