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 Kniphofias, Hemerocallis, shrubby salvias or Crocosmias, at the foreground of ceanothes, phlomis, cistus…

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.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
