Someone told me recently - and I am just passing this on - that Agapanthus flower better when potbound?

Maybe that's it then Ojibway and since this afternoon I have masses of pots, so I could dig them all up. Thanks.

And they like a spot where they get a jolly good baking in the sun too.

Thanks Beattie. They are in a real hot spot but no growth at all, I think a big pot in full sun then. Can I dig them up now do you think?

Seems like you've nothing to lose. Dig 'em up and squeeze 'em in! I hope it works.

Lush foliage is a happy plant to me, i would recommend buying big if you want to plant out straight away otherwise young plants should be potted for a couple of seasons, i have one in my border in its 5th year now and at my last count was 10 flower spikes, this plant too went through the same as yours for 2 seasons but when i read up on agapanthus i understood why, what books etc dont tell you is you need a degree of patience but the end result is well worth waiting for.

Agapanthus flower when THEY want to, not when you make a fuss of them. One year mine got nearly killed by frost. I put the sad remains in a smaller pot and it produced 2 flowers 1st time round. Last year several flowers in a bigger pot. This year none in same pot. Can't win.

Sounds like anything can happen then - thanks everyone.
