Hi Sheila,

Just to let you know that my Agapanthus seeds have germinated - they came
up about 3 days ago. They're still very tiny, but look strong. I'll pot
them on in a week or so, when there's enough plant to handle. I saw your
text to Adrian about '3 years to flowering', so I'll try not to get too
excited just yet! I must take some photos soon.

Hi again, Sheila ~

Just adding to my own post .....

Do you remember what type of white Agapanthas you have? Are they hardy?
Evergreen? Herbaceous? I'm leaping ahead a bit to the time our plantlets
have leaves; should we expect them to die down in winter ... or, if they
do die down, does that mean they're dead or dozing?

Many thanks.
Spider



My Agapanthus had leaves all year round, in fact they have lovely new green
leaves underneath all the dead ones, I have had to repot them today, they
were in lovely glazed pots, which have cracked.... so I have repotted them
in plastic, and put them in the garden shed.... I fear for their health now!
I will put them on a shelf near the window when I can get in the shed to
clear it out.....They wintered outside last year ok, but the frost this year
is more than last I think.
