This Agapanthus is a large and robust plant that produces clusters of pale bluish-purple flowers with darker veins. Its blooming season lasts from late June to August. The deciduous foliage forms an attractive clump from spring to autumn, and the plant can tolerate cold temperatures well, down to -8°C, provided it is covered with a layer of mulch. It is an ideal perennial for borders but can also be grown in pots on the terrace.

Description

The Agapanthus 'Blue Triumphator' is a highly robust variety of blue Agapanthus. It boasts lush foliage and produces wide, yet light, umbels of flowers on long, straight and sturdy stems that can withstand strong winds. It blooms early and repeatedly, and it is surrounded by a beautiful cluster of bright green ribbon-like leaves that look attractive from spring to autumn. This deciduous plant is relatively hardy, and it can be easily grown in the ground in many regions that are not too cold. It looks stunning when grown in a flower bed, and equally beautiful when grown in a large pot on a terrace.

 

Agapanthus are plants belonging to the lily family, which originate from South Africa and can hybridise naturally in nature or in our gardens. The cultivar 'Blue Triumphator' is derived from A. campanulatus and is known for its vigorous growth. This perennial plant multiplies quickly from its base with fleshy rhizomes, forming a dense clump of linear and thick foliage. The foliage is shiny green and has a minimum diameter of 50 cm (19.7 in), expanding over time. The abundant and repeat flowering takes place in the summer and lasts about 5 weeks, depending on the climate. Solid stems emerge from the foliage, which can exceed a height of 1 m (3.3 ft). They bear light hemispherical umbels, which measure 20 to 25 cm (9.8 in) in diameter. These umbels are composed of small trumpet-shaped flowers carried by long peduncles. Each flower is made up of light purple petals crossed by a darker median line. If the base of this Agapanthus is well protected, it can withstand temperatures as low as -8/-10 °C.

 

Agapanthus 'Blue Triumphator' is a stunning addition to any flower garden, adding an exotic and delicate touch to sunny flower beds. This resilient plant requires little maintenance, making it the perfect choice for gardeners of all levels. It is important to provide it with a somewhat protected and south-facing location in colder regions, and to apply a thick mulch to the base during winter. Agapanthus is versatile and can be grown in a flower bed or a pot and looks great when paired with other mauve, white or blue varieties in a minimalist setting.

 

It is also very decorative in exotic looking flower beds such as KniphofiasHemerocallis, shrubby salvias or Crocosmias, at the foreground of ceanothesphlomiscistus…

Planting and care

To protect Agapanthus plants from the cold, it's recommended to cover their bases with at least 10 cm (3.9 in) of good quality soil. This should be done in spring and the plants should be mulched in winter. If you're growing them in pots, use 3 plants for a 30 cm (11.8 in) pot and protect the pots during winter. Agapanthus plants prefer a rich, moist, and well-drained soil that's enriched with sand. Water them regularly during the growth period (twice a week) but avoid watering them afterwards. These plants are sensitive to excess winter moisture.

The Blue Triumphator variety of Agapanthus thrives in the ground and in containers. In winter, protect the base with a thick mulch so that it can withstand temperatures as low as -8 to -10 °C. Use a well-drained, slightly acidic mixture made of rich compost, sand, and topsoil. This variety seems to prefer shallow containers and will flower abundantly if you regularly feed it with slow-release fertiliser.
