Reviving Agapanthus with a Simple Trick
Revive your agapanthus with a simple autumn trim and enjoy a second burst of blooms before winter sets in.
If you’ve ever walked past a garden in late summer and been stopped in your tracks by those sky-high stems topped with dreamy blue or white pom-poms, you’ll know the charm of agapanthus.
Agapanthus, sometimes called African lilies, are a staple of British borders—and for good reason. They’re elegant, low-maintenance, and when they bloom, they really bloom.

A wise neighbour let the author in on an old horticultural secret: a simple trim in early autumn can bring those blooms back for an encore in autumn.
