Help with agapanthus please
I’ve got 4 agapanthus in pots ,some look ok - one has a couple of buds but the others don’t look happy. I kept them in the shed as long as I could but the shoots looked very pale and a bit soggy so
I took them outside but I’m
I’m the Midlands and we’ve had some late frosts
They’ve been in pots for about 8 years, is there anything I can do to help them recover? I don’t want to lose them as they came with me last year from
my old garden

have they been fed in recent years. If not then scrape off the top inch or two and replace with fresh compost.
The pale leaves could be because they have been in the shed and not getting enough light. Move them indoors or cover with fleece if frost forecast for the next couple of weeks.

Feeding needs to start quite early on every 10 days....try Tomerite.

Thank you very much. Despite the cold I added new compost today - helped by my grandson who’s nearly 4! He loved helping water afterwards. I’m not sure if I should have watered but the strong wind has made everything really dry here
