When to cut back agapanthus – deciduous vs evergreen

I’ve noticed a lot of gardeners wondering when to cut back agapanthus in recent weeks, and if you’re gearing up to trim the plants pretty soon, you’re bang on the money.

Knowing when to deadhead agapanthus is one thing, but it’s best to cut the plants right back for the final time in late autumn, when they’ve finished flowering. There’s an art to timing it just right, though, and you mustn’t jump the gun.

Plus, it depends on the type of agapanthus you’re growing: deciduous or evergreen. One will benefit from being cut back, while the other is best left alone. To find out which is which, I spoke to the experts.
