The African lily (Agapanthus) is an African lily that is also very popular as a container plant in this country. The plant does not usually need pruning, but withered flowers should be removed from time to time.
Reasons for removing faded flowers
Withered inflorescences bother some gardeners not only visually in the overall impression of an African lily with its fresh green leaves. The plant also needs energy for the seeds to ripen on the withered inflorescences, which it then lacks elsewhere. If you regularly cut off faded inflorescences as a maintenance measure, your African lily will produce more flowers overall and grow more vigorously.
Let the African lily seeds ripen
The African lily Agapanthus is mostly propagated by root division due to the strong root growth. You can also let the inflorescences mature after the flowering period, allowing the plant to self-seed.
tips and tricks
If you would like to harvest the seeds of the African lily and sow them in a specific place, you should wait until the seeds are ready in September to harvest the seeds. Then remove the withered inflorescences and leaves at the same time so that the plants can recharge their batteries before wintering.
