It can be planted directly in the garden, but growing agapanthus in pots is very easy and worthwhile. Keep reading to learn more about planting agapanthus in containers and care for agapanthus in pots.

Planting Agapanthus in Containers

Agapanthus needs extremely well-draining, but somewhat water retentive, soil to survive.

This may be hard to achieve in your garden, which is why growing agapanthus in pots is such a good idea. Terra cotta pots look especially good with the blue flowers. Choose either a small container for one plant or a larger one for multiple plants, and cover the drainage hole with a piece of broken pottery.

What to plant with agapanthus in pots

Instead of regular potting soil, choose a soil-based compost mix. Fill your container part of the way up with the mix, then set the plants so that the foliage begins an inch (2.5 cm.) or so below the rim. Fill in the rest of the space around the plants with more compost mix.
