I am very keen to grow agapanthus.My very first time. Can anyone recommend varieties that are hardy please. As I would like to grow them straight into the ground. I live in essex, thank you.
Reply to Petal: The Headbourne Hybrids are often claimed to be some of the hardiest agapanthus, but others may have experience with others they could recommend.
I've been growing several in pots, and if they survive in pots outside they are also probably pretty hardy.
Back to agapanthus for a sec, I grew some from seed this year and am wondering whether to re-pot now or wait till spring. Any advice gratefully received.
I have had an agapantha in a pot for just 2 years and the first year it flowered beautifully. This year, although there is green foliage it has not flowered at all. I am reluctant to repot as I understood they need little attention but can someone help and advise me what to do! Thanks
Reply to Agapanthus: It all depends what the reason for non-flowering was. As you don't say how large the pot is that your agapanthus is growing in, or whether you've checked to see just how pot bound it may be (or not), it's hard offering advice.
Yes, agapanthus do like to become pot bound, but remember that plants grow. All plants will need a larger pot eventually.
I split an agapanthus that was in the group - planted 4yrs ago- flowered once - then last year i removed it and split it into 3 pots with john innes no 3 - what an amazing thing happened I got 8 flower heads!! Once they have flowered what do you do with the seeds and the stem? do you cut them?

'Donau' is one of my favourites.
