Plant Id & Plant division
I've got a few questions and didn't want to open multiple threads.
(1) I've had this Agapanthus for 7 years plus and never divided or moved it from the place in the picture below. Its getting quite big and i was wandering if you guys think i should dig it up and divide and if so when is the best time.
(2) I've also had this Fern below for as long as the Agapanthus and its also got big, can ferns be divided?. Also can anyone name this Fern.
(3) This Fuschia was my one of my grandads plants that he loved. When he passed away i took it out of his garden so i had a peace of the garden my grandad loved so much. He won council garden of the year many times and i have all his trophy's. Can anyone name this Fuschia?.

I think Agapanthus thrive on being tight together, I wouldnt split them. I haven't a clue about your fern but your fuchsia could be Eve Borg, without seeing it, it's difficult to say, google it and see what you think.
Best time to divide agapanthus will be when flowering is finished. Also save the seed from your flowers, they look like black flecks of burnt wood and you'll have more plants in time, that's if you like it. Agapanthus are a horrendous price in garden centres.
Yes Gardenmaiden i collected the seed from last year and have loads of seedlings in the green house. I agree the prices are mad,saw one the other day £14 with 2 flowers.
I would leave the agapanthus just as they are - they flower best when they're potted tightly - only when their performance starts to drop off would I split them.
