I leave my agapanthus outdoors during the winter, but I do move the pots to a sheltered spot and cover them with fleece. I just love their flowers. I think they must take some years to grow from seed. Better to see if you know someone who is dividing their potful. Mind you, I have divided mine some years ago, and found it very difficult. Once out of their pots, I tried the old back-to-back forks method, but it just didn't work. In the end I got a saw, and sawed straight through the clump and then again, into quarters. It worked, and all pieces grew and flowered again.
Hi Blairs, does the goldcrest cypress have a Latin name Please? I don't think i will find it under that name in France. What a clever lot you are, so many good ideas so here is another question:- I have a very large clump of day lily (hemoarcallis- maybe?) it has orange flowers, how can I divide it and when please?

Of course, <span class="st">Cupressus macrocarpa. It is widely sold around the world, am sure including France.
Another suggestion - dwarf fruit tree. Apples, pears, plums, cherries or even something more exotic if you have the climate.
