Agapanthus

[Rob Webb]

Can anyone out there give me any clues about propogating agapanthus from
seed, ie when to collect the seeds, how soon after flowering should I sow,
and what the best soil is etc etc?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Rob,

Mature seeds appear black in colour and can be ripe when seed head is still
green.

As for germinating the seeds use a free draining soil mix and just cover the
seed. Best temperature for germination is when it is 15 - 20C. Expect to
wait 30-90 days for the seed to sprout. Also expect it to be 3-4 years
before seeing a flower.

Division is a much faster method for getting a flowering plant earlier.

Good luck.
