Agapanthus

Only once have I been successful in growing these and it was in the garden where we lived down the road. I can't seem to grow them up here. Any tips on where and how to be successful.

These are in pots but my other two are in the ground one is an evergreen never fails to flower the blue one took a few years to flower in amongst other plants surrounding it .

My soil is more on the acid side they say to get them to flower keep them in a pot I have another big one in a pot yet that has never flowered.

In the past plants having different soil likes I use to dig a bigger hole and tip the soil the plants like then fill around the plants with that soil to start them off .

Thanks for that Thrupennybit, perhaps next year I'll have another go.

Your very welcome also great you will try again ☺

It needs to be a large pot. I have mine in 10", and after a year, I need to divide and transplant. I got them from Bali Hai Nursery - in little pots, and they grew all winter, multiplying, and are now huge clumps. I am going to try half in the pot, half in the ground. The advice I read said that if it doesn't flower in the ground, put it in a pot; and if it doesn't like a pot, put it in the ground.

Thank you Gnarly gnome the one not flowering is in a very big pot so I shall try it in the ground. Great idea half in pot and half ground.

Thank you Wylie One not flowering is in a large pot so I shall try it in the ground as you suggest . I ll try tge ones in little pots half in pot and ground like you have.
