Agapanthus is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. The more sun the better for best flowering. When established, plants are quite drought tolerant requiring supplemental irrigation only during prolonged periods of severe drought. Constantly soggy or wet soils are problematic. Lime Agapanthus annually to keep them blooming heavy year after year!
