Ping Sheila - Agapanthus seedlings
Hi Sheila,
How are you intending to over-winter your agapanthus seedlings? Bring them under cover or just keep them in a sheltered place outside? I can't remember if you said the parent plant was hardy or not; perhaps you didn't know. I've got 31 plantlets :~), some more advanced than others, and they're all outdoors at the moment as it's still fairly mild here in SE London. I've got a *tiny* amount of space in my mini greenhouse and perhaps a bit of space in my garden room (single brick construction), but that's half promised to several bulbine plants! I've got quite a lot of cramming in to do before the frosts come, so it would helpful to know what your plans are. The plants still look very green and healthy. A few had one or two limp yellow leaves and I've removed these, so there's nothing left to linger and rot. One or two plants have even put up a secondary mini-bulb, or at least the strap-like leaves which suggest an offset. It seems much too early in their development for this, but unless a dormant seed stuck to the main root mass, I can't explain it any other way. How are yours performing? Indeed, how are all the co-growers getting on? Incidentally, I've got an Agapanthus africanus in my front garden which has put up a new stem and blue flower bud. It may open tomorrow if we get the promised good weather. This species is not considered to be at all hardy so I certainly didn't expect flowers in November! I'll be watching the weather forecasts in case I need to bring it inside. Spider |
