Default Pots to bloom in summer months

One challenge I have set myself is to grow some plants and flowers in
pots, so they bloom in the summer months. I can then position the pots
at tactical places in my front rockery, my back patio or hanging
baskets.


I grow Agapanthus in pots. The flower heads follow the light like
crazy, so by having them in a pot I can turn it on a castor base.

The year before last I got the timing just right with my turning and
was rewarded with a potful of 13 gracefully spiralling stems topped
with big blue flowers.

Next I repot though, I think it'll be too big. Time to split,
methinks.
