Default Agapanthus

YYZedd said:

Have a potted agapanthus (African Lilly) in Atlanta area. It was planted
early last year and bloomed later on. However, no bloom whatsoever this
year. Any ideas as to why?


Was it kept in the same, general environment this year, as last? (indoors,
outdoors sun/shade, etc)

There are many varieties of Agapanthus, but they all make good container
plants. I've found them to do best as they become a bit rootbound in their
container. Perhaps it just needed a year to grow to the size of the pot
that it's in (true of most Agapanthus). If the plant is otherwise healthy,
it should be ok, and bloom next season (probably very proficiently). Bloom
time is about over, so holding out any hopes for a bloom this year would be
a waste.
