The Little Blue Fountain Agapanthus from the Southern Living Plant Collection may be small, but it packs a real punch for blooming power! This Agapanthus is a prolific bloomer that yearly sends up spectacular deep blue cluster blooms. Each cluster features multitudes of petite blooms with a dark blue streak in the center of each petal that fades to soft blue edges. In addition, you can look forward to seeing these gorgeous flowers from mid-spring through summer!
The Little Blue Fountain Agapanthus is a fast-growing, semi-dwarf variety with a naturally clumping habit. However, it only reaches between 16-18″ tall at maturity. Therefore, finding a spot for it in your landscape is effortless.
The foliage is evergreen. Furthermore, its leaves are grass-like, medium-width straps with a soft, almost blueish green.
The Little Blue Fountain Agapanthus is perfect for container gardens, as a foreground plant, or in borders.
The Little Blue Fountain grows well in coastal climates thanks to an impressive salt tolerance. Additionally, it’s disease and pest-resistant AND drought and heat tolerant.
Check out a couple of other Agapanthus from the Southern Living Plant Collection, the Queen Mum Agapanthus, Ever Amethyst Agapanthus, and the boldly variegated Neverland Agapanthus.
Hardy from USDA Zones 8-10, and it’s tolerant of light frosts.
Grows best in Full Sun to Partial Shade.
Water 2-3 times per week during the first growing season. Decrease to 1-2 times per week during the second growing season. Afterward, apply water weekly during dry weather.
Plant the Little Blue Fountain Agapanthus in rich garden soil with good drainage.
Agapanthus doesn’t need much extra food. However, apply a light layer of balanced fertilizer in Spring to ensure your plant has the nutrients it requires to thrive.
For a seamless planting, space your Little Blue Fountain Agapanthus 1-1.5 feet apart from plant center to plant center. For space between plantings, plant them 2-2.5 feet apart.

Arrived in perfect condition; appears they were in the pots for a while, as the roots were wrapped around and around the inside of the containers. I paired 4 of these with 3 of the Ever Amethyst Agapanthus purples behind and they all took to the flower bed nicely. Slightly higher purples behind the Little Blue Fountains make a nice coordinated look. Very satisfied for the third time ordering from Plants by Mail.

I ordered 3 of these and recieved 2. I let them know and they immediately shipped me the other.
Very pretty plants and all of them had blooms on them. The color is very pretty. So glad to see a
company that makes good on their order and will definitely order from them again. they are also very healthy plants.

Plant arrived in good condition other than a couple of yellowed leaves and looking a little droopy. It is now doing well and blooming. I love the size of this species, and it looks great with my taller agapanthus.

PBM always ships healthy plants. And they are great if you have questions or issues. This is my third order of white weddings. Consistently healthy plants!

One of the few plants I’ve received from PBM that weren’t perfectly packed. They aren’t quite as robust as other plants I’ve ordered either but will give them the benefit of a growing season. Their service is fantastic!
