What to Do With Agapanthus in August to Boost Next Year's Blooms and Keep Plants Thriving

Pale lilac agapanthus bloom.

Agapanthus is one of the standout stars of the late-summer garden, producing elegant globe-shaped blooms in shades of blue, purple, and white just as many other perennials begin to fade. While these plants are still putting on a show in August, now is the perfect time to give them a little attention if you want an even better display next year.

Whether you're just learning how to grow agapanthus or already have established clumps in your yard, a few simple maintenance jobs this month will help extend flowering, strengthen the plant before dormancy, and encourage healthier growth for the season ahead. The same care applies whether your agapanthus is growing in the ground or in containers.
