Double Diamond Agapanthus

The Double Diamond Agapanthus needs to be grown in a warm, protected location and faces south, getting full sun. The plant can endure drought well, but it requires rich, moist soil and particularly well-drained soil during winter. Water it twice a week in the growing season, but do not water it while it is dormant. During winter, the Agapanthus is susceptible to excessive moisture and doesn't like waterlogged soil. Therefore, it's recommended to mulch the base with a 20 cm (7.9 in) thick layer of dead leaves over the base of the plant and cover it with a mesh to prevent wind damage. Snow is also an excellent protection against excessive moisture and cold. Bring the plant indoors for protection if you're planting the Agapanthus in a pot. When planting it, ensure the fleshy roots are covered with leaf compost and planted at a depth of 30 cm (11.8 in). Once it's established in the ground, avoid disturbing it. In autumn, remove dead leaves and trim the faded stems so the plant doesn't exhaust itself by producing seeds.
