How to grow Agapanthus 'Arctic Star' in NZ

Plenty of sunlight encourages vigorous growth, healthy foliage, and abundant flowering throughout summer.

Remove spent flower stems after flowering to maintain a tidy appearance and direct energy back into growth. Apply a balanced fertiliser during spring to support healthy foliage and prolific blooms.
