Ping Judith and Sheila - Agapanthus seeds
Hi both,
Sorry I've not been around to post regarding the agapanthus seeds - just so so busy! Judith, Sheila asked me to post with information about seed sowing, in the hope that you might benefit if you'd never sown agapanthus before. I haven't. The RHS Propagating Plants guide says the seeds should be sown at 16'C (61'F). It does not suggest depth of planting, but savvy gardeners know that most seed should be covered with its own depth of soil, so fairly shallowly in this case. They should germinate in three weeks. Established seedlings should be grown on in a cold frame, but protected from frost. In the spring, the seedlings can be transferred to a nursery bed. The new plants should flower in their third year. Hope that helps. There is nothing about feeding, but once the weather warms up a bit, I shall give a general fertiliser, then top that up with a weakish feed throughout the year; I'll probably repeat that in the second year. In the third year, I shall start with a general feed, then give a high potash feed about May time. Naturally, I'll adjust that if I perceive any problems. No doubt, we three will be swapping notes during that time. Must stop typing now - I need to cross my fingers! Best Wishes, Spider |
