Despite its southern origin, the African lily, also known as the African lily, is also very flowery in this country if it is cared for properly. The plant usually produces a particularly large number of flower stalks in a sunny location.
When is the flowering time of the African lily?
The flowering period of the African lily (Agapanthus), also known as the African lily, extends from July to September. To promote lush flowering, ensure adequate watering, avoiding waterlogging and removing spent flower stalks.
The main season of round ball flowers
The main flowering period of the agapanthus is from July to September, depending on the location. During this time, you should pay attention to the following care factors:
- adequate irrigation
- no waterlogging
- removing spent flower stems
Unless you need seeds for propagation, you should cut off wilted flower stalks so that the plant does not have to waste growth energy on the seeds to ripen.
Get slow-flowering specimens going
Don't be surprised if African lilies grown from seeds only bloom for the first time after a few years. Older plants sometimes do not bloom if they have been overwintered in temperatures that are too warm above 7 degrees Celsius. Sometimes fertilizing with a foliar or complete fertilizer (€14.00 on Amazon) also helps.
Tips & Tricks
If you want to bring individual flowers into your home as vase decorations, you should cut them off when the first three or four individual flowers have opened. With the stems in the water, the remaining individual flowers will also bloom and you will get the maximum beauty out of the African lily, even as a cut flower.
