Description

General Notes:
Agapanthus ‘Torbay’ is a delightful and refined variety, offering a lighter colour palette and a graceful habit. It’s well-suited to small gardens, courtyard planters, and path edges where its subtle tones complement more vibrant planting.

Soil Type:
Prefers free-draining soil – sandy or loamy with added grit is ideal. In pots, use peat-free compost mixed with horticultural grit for good drainage.

Location:
Full sun is essential for flowering. Ideal for pots on sunny patios or borders that receive at least 6 hours of sun per day. Offers excellent performance in coastal and urban gardens.

Pests and Disease Problems:
Generally disease-resistant. Watch for slugs and snails on new shoots. Avoid waterlogging to prevent root or crown rot.

Propagation:
Divide clumps every 3–4 years in spring. Can also be grown from seed, although flowering may take a few seasons.

Pruning, Cutting Back & Dividing:
Remove faded flower heads to prolong display. Cut back yellowed foliage in autumn. Lift and divide clumps to rejuvenate and promote flowering.


Other Notes of Interest:

  • Excellent for Containers: Compact size makes it perfect for balcony gardens and small spaces.

  • Pairing Suggestion: Combine with silvery foliage plants or soft pink perennials like Erigeron or Echinacea.

  • Low Water Use: Drought tolerant once established – a good choice for eco-conscious gardeners.

  • Pollinator Friendly: Attracts bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects.

  • Heritage Connection: Named after the famous seaside town of Torbay, evoking summer holidays and relaxed coastal planting.

  • Reliable Bloomer: Flowers consistently with good sun and minimal fuss.
