Whether you’re a weekend gardener or a seasoned green thumb, this month is bursting with opportunity.

🩷🩵💙💜From Blush to Bold: Agapanthus Takes Centre Stage This November!

Hello Summer, Hello Colour! 
November has arrived, and our gardens are bursting back to life across Gauteng. It’s that special time when colour, sunshine, and pollinators fill the air — and at Keengro Garden Centre, we’re celebrating with one of South Africa’s most loved plants: the Agapanthus.🩷🩵💙💜

These hardy, water-wise beauties have long been favourites in local gardens, offering long-lasting blooms, lush green foliage, and effortless elegance. Whether you love soft and romantic tones or bold, dramatic displays, this season’s collection has something special for everyone.

🌸 New Arrival: The Blush Pink Agapanthus

Meet the newest darling in our nursery — the Blush Pink Agapanthus!
With its soft pastel blooms and elegant structure, this variety brings a fresh, modern twist to traditional gardens. Perfect for borders, containers, or mixed flower beds, its gentle pink tones pair beautifully with silvery foliage or white companions.

Why we love it:
💗 Fresh and romantic new colour in the agapanthus family
💗 Water-wise, hardy, and low maintenance
💗 Stunning in full sun and well-drained soil
💗 Attracts bees and butterflies

It’s the perfect choice for gardeners who love a subtle, stylish statement.

💐 A Celebration of the Agapanthus Family

The beauty of agapanthus lies in its variety — from soft pastels to rich blues and deep purples. Each type offers something special for every gardener.

The Classics

💙 Blue Agapanthus: The iconic South African favourite, perfect for sunny borders and mass planting.
🤍 White Agapanthus: Clean, crisp, and timeless — adds elegance and light to modern gardens.

Compact & Dwarf Types

Ideal for small gardens, containers, or edging pathways. These tidy, low-growing versions bloom just as beautifully but fit in smaller spaces.

🌱 Growing Tips for Healthy, Happy Agapanthus

  • Sun: Loves full sun but tolerates light shade.

  • Soil: Needs well-drained soil — avoid soggy roots.

  • Water: Moderate watering once established — perfect for water-wise gardens.

  • Feeding: Fertilise during growing and flowering season for best results.

  • Maintenance: Divide every few years to refresh clumps and boost flowering.

  • Frost: Protect more sensitive varieties in colder regions.
