Damn agapanthus
 
Hi to all

I just wanted you all to know that nothing kills agapanthus & the only way
to remove them is by axe & shovel + a weekend of digging. No way did I think
it would be so strenuous there roots just keep on going, I have decided they
should only be in a pot.
Along with these I have cannas to remove but they appear to be dying, so it
maybe easier to dig out.
Thanks for listening to my whinge.
cheers
Sandra

Yep! Keep a sharp eye out for the little shoots and pull them before
they get big enough to form much of a root system. It'll take you a few
years to get rid of them all (seeds keep sprouting and roots keep
shooting), but you will in the end.

Best of luck! ;-D
