Agapanthus africanus

[3] Unlike the more common Agapanthus praecox, this species is less suitable as a garden plant as it is far more difficult to grow.

They seem to be best when grown in shallow pots and will flower regularly if fed with a slow release fertiliser.

[3] Both subspecies require hot, dry summers, and winter rainfall climate.

In the case of sorghum, this application was even found to perform better than Thiram, a commonly used fungicide when exposed to Sporisorium sorghi and S.

[5] Similarly, it has found to induce resistance to rust leaf in wheat through increasing the activity of pathogenesis related proteins.

walshii is considered to be endangered by the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI).
