Die Lavendelheide Mountain Fire trägt ihren zweiten Namen Schattenglöckchen zu Recht: Selbst an schattigen Standorten bildet sie im Frühling eine reiche Zahl anmutig leicht überhängender Blütenrispen. Sie sind dicht besetzt von maiglöckchenähnlichen Einzelblüten, die einen zarten süßen Duft verströmen. Damit lenken sie die Aufmerksamkeit selbst auf schattige Gartenwinkel. Daneben bleibt ein Bestand der immergrünen Blätter rund um das Jahr haften, um den Garten auch im Winter zu beleben. Im Austrieb setzen sie feuerrote Farbtupfer in den noch winterkargen Garten, bevor sie sich im Sommer dunkelgrün verfärben. Im Garten beweist das Schattenglöckchen Mountain Fire seinen Wert auch mit seiner mehrjährigen Natur. Es nimmt eine lockere breitbuschige, rundliche Wuchsform mit leicht überhängenden Seitentrieben an und eignet sich selbst für kleine Gärten oder für den Pflanzkübel. Mountain Fire ist pflegeleicht, robust, genügsam und sogar rauchhart. An ihren Standort zeigt sie sich anpassungsfähig. Sie gedeiht in der Sonne, verträgt aber auch Halbschatten bis vollen Schatten. Der Standort sollte windgeschützt und gerne kühl und luftfeucht sein. Den Boden mag sie frisch bis feucht, durchlässig, humos und eher nährstoffarm. Der pH-Wert sollte neutral, gerne auch sauer sein.

In the sun belts of USA, the plant has become a true staple. Once established there is zero maintenance. They need nothing truly. After years you can divide up and make more, but you are guaranteed big huge globe blooms, every year for summer months. You are left with very tropical looking green plants. Most sites say full sun, however SUN, HALF SUN OR LESS, IS JUST FINE. Very hardy, grows in any type of soil even clay. Mild climates are evergreens. If you are in a cold climate, use containers to move indoors into bright light. Most sites do not tell you blooms may take a few years from seed. But you will have them for many more years. They like to be crowded, roots become long finger like bulbs to divide easily. Worth the wait for these beautiful blooming evergreens. Agapanthus have very strong stems with large flower heads for dramatic graceful interest.
