Description
Agapanthus campanulatus var. albidus is a very pretty white form of the campanulate Agapanthus, the hardiest botanical species of all. This majestic perennial offers large round umbels in summer, loaded with white bell-shaped flowers, carried well above a deciduous foliage of a greyish green, quite narrow, gathered in a dense clump. This very graphic plant, suitable for planting in the ground in many regions, will bring a beautiful touch of exoticism to sunny flower beds.
Originally, like all Agapanthus, from South Africa, Agapanthus campanulatus is spontaneous in Natal. Agapanthus campanulatus var. albidus is a rare form of this plant with blue flowers that grows at low altitudes in wet meadows. It develops in spring, from a stump with fleshy rhizomes, forming a dense clump of linear, ribbon-like foliage, at least 50cm (20in) in diameter, expanding over time. Each leaf can reach 40cm (16in) in length and 1cm (1in) in width. Flowering takes place in summer, from June-July to September. Sturdy stems measuring 80cm (32in) to 1m (3ft) in height carry large spherical umbels measuring 10cm (4in) in diameter, composed of about thirty small campanulate snow-white flowers carried by long peduncles. The foliage turns yellow and then disappears in autumn.
Agapanthus campanulatus var. albidus is sumptuous in the garden with its large inflorescences that stand out from a well-filled clump. The pure white colour of the flowers and their abundance will add an elegant touch to your flower beds, alongside the typical blue-flowered form. Very hardy, it can withstand temperatures around -12/-15°C (10.4/5°F) without weakening, which is why it can be planted in the ground almost anywhere. In very cold regions, it should be given a protected and south-facing location, and a thick mulch should be placed at its base. Whether in flower beds, borders, large rockeries, pots or containers, Agapanthus is suitable for a wide range of uses. It is particularly well-suited to coastal climates.
Agapanthus umbellatus is a plant linked to fire ecology. In South Africa, it is often subjected to fires that destroy the vegetation of the Fynbos, and seems to flower more abundantly when it has experienced fire.
We deliver them with a 2/3 eye stump. Over time, they will form stronger and stronger clumps.

Planting and care
Plant Agapanthus campanulatus by covering them with at least 10cm (4in) of good soil so they can withstand the cold. It is essential to plant them in spring and mulch them in winter. For pot cultivation, use 5 plants for a 24cm (9in) pot and protect your pots in winter. They prefer a rich and moist, yet well-drained soil. Water them regularly during the growth period (twice a week). However, avoid watering them afterwards. They are sensitive to excessive moisture in winter.

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.
