Companion Plants for Agapanthus with Similar Water Needs

Agapanthus and Mini Roses Can Coexist

Agapanthus is adaptable; mini roses need more water but not excessively. If both have good drainage, they can share a zone.

Better Companions for Zone 10 (S. California)

• Daylily (Hemerocallis)
• Society Garlic (Tulbaghia violacea)
• Kangaroo Paw (Anigozanthos)
• Lantana (sterile cultivars)
• Salvia (e.g., S. greggii)

All tolerate moderate water, full sun, and have long bloom seasons.

Avoid Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe needs short days (12+ hrs darkness) to rebloom; street lights disrupt this. Also, its water needs differ.

Critical: Drainage

Both agapanthus bulbs and rose roots rot in soggy soil. Amend with coarse sand or perlite; ensure positive drainage.
