My agapanthus project is going to involve an electric jack hammer to get
them planted, so dense and gravelly is the terrain outside our front door.
I hope these plants are as hardy as claimed. Also, they will have to cope
with the ministrations of countless dogs being walked up and down every hour
of the day. Should I use dolomite or something similar to help them start?

My mom grew Agapanthas in California. They're pretty plants : )

Have you been smoking the Agapanthas up there in Alaska, Jan?

The subject is Agapanthus. You can't grow them in Alaska. Then again,
there
are some deciduous cold hardy species that have been successfully grown
outdoors in Denver you might want to try.

We live in town and we want to know if agapanthus is suitable to

tree bases, even if the soil is very gravelly. Should we plant just
one
agapanthus or several in a group? Please help, Frank

I have no idea, but my favorite "confuse the pilgrims" sign for my
driveway is:
"Beware of the Agapanthas." Most people have absolutely *no* idea what
an
agapanthas is, so they're afraid to get out of their car up here at
the
house.

(It's going to get worse -- I have a local sculptor working on a
life-sized
triceratops metal sculpture for me. It's going to be poking it's head
out
of
the treeline, about 1/4 mile up my driveway. My driveway is 1/2 mile
long.)
