Description
Agapanthus x africanus Pitchoune Blue is a recent cultivar known for its compactness and abundant flowering. This semi-evergreen bulbous plant has a broad ribbon-like foliage and blooms in June-July with numerous ultramarine blue umbels. It is an undemanding plant requiring full sun and well-drained, moist soil. Although not very hardy, it is perfect for adding a touch of holiday and seaside atmosphere to balconies, terraces, and flower beds.
This new hybrid agapanthus is a plant from a nursery in the Var, France. It belongs to the family of Liliaceae and is descended from various species of South African origin, including the Agapanthus africanus, a short plant native to the Western Cape province.
'Pitchoune Blue' grows from a short rhizome with fleshy roots. It forms a compact clump of medium green, semi-evergreen, and relatively broad ribbon-like leaves. When it blooms, it does not grow taller than 40 cm (15.7 in) and wider than 50 cm (19.7 in). In the middle of summer, its sturdy flowering stems appear, crowned with compact umbels, that usually have between 20 to 50 deep blue flowers. This bulbous plant is hardy up to approximately -8°C.
The Agapanthus Pitchoune Blue is commonly used in the front of flower beds or to border pathways in mild climates. In cooler regions, it is best grown in large pots on the terrace, in a spacious container that will enable this plant to produce numerous flowering stems. This method of cultivation has the added advantage of being able to store it during the winter. This plant is versatile and can thrive by the seaside, in an English cottage, or even in a city garden. When cut and placed in a vase, its flowers will bring freshness and a lot of originality to the house.

Planting and care
Pitchoune Blue Agapanthus is best cultivated in a warm, protected area facing south and receiving full sun. Use rich and moist but well-drained soil to enhance the plant's hardiness. Water the agapanthus regularly twice a week during the growth period, but avoid watering in winter. To protect the plant from wind damage, mulch the base with a 20 cm (7.9 in) thick layer of dead leaves covered with mesh. Snow can also offer protection against excessive moisture and cold. Bring the plant indoors to protect it from severe frost in an unheated room if grown in a pot. Place the agapanthus 10 cm (3.9 in) deep during planting in a mixture of leaf compost and compost. Once established in the ground, avoid disturbing the plant. Remove faded leaves in autumn and cut back the flower stalks to prevent the plant from exhausting itself by producing seeds.

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.
