Newly hatched Agapanthus. What next?

Somehow I have managed to germinate some Agapanthus seeds but I am at a loss as to subsequent actions. Do I leave them as they are for a while? Pot them up Individually?
Leave outdoors to overwinter? Any advice would be much appreciated……

    If they were mine I'd leave them as they are til spring and put them in my cold GH through the worst of the winter

    Thank you , that does make sense.  I don’t have access to a greenhouse, would an unheated spare bedroom work as well?
    Would you suggest potting on individually in the spring or in small clumps?

    As cool as possible, you don't want to get them into new soft growth. I tend to prick out in group with this type of plant but see how big they are in spring

    @Steady Eddie Are they evergreen or deciduous. You could keep deciduous Agapanthus in a frost free garage.
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    They are the deciduous type. I put my mature agapanthus in the garage to overwinter
    and they are fine. I’m overthinking it a bit I think!
