Botanical Name

Agapanthus 'Buccaneer'

Product Description

Agapanthus 'Buccaneer' is a hardy, clump-forming perennial prized for its beautiful deep blue to blue-purple trumpet-shaped flowers, which are produced in rounded clusters on strong upright stems above attractive strap-like green foliage.

This compact, free-flowering variety is an excellent choice for adding bold colour and architectural form to garden beds, borders and containers. Its tough nature and good drought tolerance once established make it particularly well suited to South African gardens. The flowers also attract bees and other beneficial pollinators.

Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, although it performs best outdoors in a sunny to partially shaded position.

🌱 Recommended Growing Medium

Best medium: fertile, well-drained soil enriched with well-decomposed compost.

For containers:

Quality potting mix
Well-decomposed compost
A drainage component such as perlite or pumice

Avoid heavy, permanently wet soil.

🌸 Recommended Fertiliser

For Agapanthus 'Buccaneer':

At planting: Mix well-rotted compost into the soil and add a balanced slow-release fertiliser according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Established plants: Apply a quality general-purpose slow-release fertiliser twice a year.
During active flowering, avoid excessive nitrogen, as this can encourage foliage rather than flowers.
