Features & Benefits

Agapanthus Pavlova grows to about 70cm high, producing dense clumps of strap-like leaves topped by large, pure white blooms. Its flowers are long-lasting, attracting bees and pollinators for weeks. This cultivar is known for its non-invasive habit—it will stay where you plant it, making it perfect for urban gardens or areas where you want to avoid aggressive spread. Agapanthus Pavlova NZ tolerates dry spells, salty air, and most soils. Once established, it requires minimal care, offering a lush, year-round presence.

Planting & Care Tips

Plant Agapanthus Pavlova in well-drained soil and a sunny position for best results. It can also handle partial shade and is remarkably adaptable. Space plants about 40cm apart for classic borders or massed groupings. Water regularly during its first growing season to encourage strong roots; once mature, Pavlova thrives on neglect. Deadhead spent flowers and prune away old leaves in late winter to keep it tidy. For a layered garden, consider pairing with Anemone hupehensis or Osteospermum Starry Eyes for contrasting colour and shapes.
