# How to Repot Agapanthus
Perennial agapanthus flowers must be divided and repotted periodically, or they will outgrow their containers. Agapanthus is also called African lily because it has attractive, colorful blooms, but if left untended in a container it will eventually run out of room and fail to flower. The plant must be removed and divided every few years. If agapanthus isn't repotted properly, it won't survive the disruptive division process.
