I have to admit that I’m a bit of a fan of agapanthus. I grow them in pots in London and they do well. Very well.
These six are ones growing in our garden in Spain. I do have some in pots and interestingly these are flowering later than those in the ground. Thee has been. A lot of self seeding and there are some great clumps dotted around the garden which given another year or two will look great. And interesting.
What has surprised me is how tall they are this year. The white in particular. They definitely seem taller than the last two years. Maybe it was the wet spring.
There is nothing better than the blue against the white wall of the house. This one is in a pot with others mixed with separate pots of ferns. And it’s the only one of them to flower so far!
Last year I planted Agapanthus black Buddha but I’m not expecting it to flower this year. I also bought a large agapanthus Navy Blue and this has 4 flower buds so I’m looking forward to seeing how dark it is.

I love agapanthus and saw yours in SoS. But how do you combine gardening in London and Spain?! I find gardening in London and Suffolk hard!

It’s hard. Plus we have a large garden in Somerset. Three is too many and Somerset will be sold. London is tiny so that’s never an issue.

We live in Spain half the year, the warmer half. We saw some fabulous agapanthus in Portugal recently and we want to plant a lot in our Spanish garden. Would you recommend buying them here in Spain or would they flourish still if we brought them back from the UK, do you think?

I am sure that they would. The ones in this garden are all locally bought. They do so well here in Spain.

Agapanthus, which I know as lily-of-the-Nile, are still among my favorites, even though they are ridiculously common here. There were some of the first perennials I ever divided when I was a kid. When I was in junior high school, I dug a big clump and divided it into a hundred or so copies. It was the most basic of the old Agapanthus, and is still my favorite. My other favorite is the basic old white. I think that the modern cultivars are nice too, but I am more than pleased with the two that I grow. There is a dwarf ‘Peter Pan’ out there too.
