No reason not to put them in the ground now, Kate. The weather is suitable and they won't need much watering :-(

Great .. thankyou :)

would you recommend some gravel under the roots and some feed or not?

Unless you have a very wet garden they should need extra grit under the roots but a bit of bonemeal in the planting hole never comes amis.

I note the label on the left hand pot says Agapanthus Snow Cloud - there seems to be some argument about whether this one is hardy or not - some sellers say it is, others say it's half hardy. If they're all the same variety, I'd be inclined to keep some in larger pots somewhere frost free over winter, and plant out some to see if they come through okay.

I've recently bought 'Sky' and 'Jack's Blue' but I put them in pots as I don't want to lose them to another harsh winter...have just got a bad feeling about it! I think they are supposed to be hardy...o me of little faith!

well I had thought I might put them in pots just to see what happens ... I'm all new to this and fell in love with Agapanthus so to be safe I think I will :) Thanks all :)

But you will need to keep them somewhere out of very cold weather, so the pots don't freeze - if that happens, the bulbs turn to mush. Based on the assumption we're in for another arctic blast this year...

Yes Bamboo we probably are .. would you bring them inside like a conservatory if it is artic..lol

And don't put them in too big of a pot, no more than 4 inches bigger than the one they are in. Too much spare potting compost can make them rot. It's usually not much of a problem in the ground, because excess water usually just wicks away, unless there are drainage problems.

Yes, I would bring them into a conservatory, though it would be best to put them somewhere very, very cool, so if your conservatory is heated, that's a bit of a problem.

Well going back to Tugbrethil I would like to have a couple of plants in 1 large pot so its more of a show ..am I not going to be able to do this then? Bamboo our conservatory can be quite cold in winter so I think thats a good plan! thankyou:)

Two plants in 1 pot will work for now, but they will be very difficult to separate later. Sooner or later, one plant outcompetes the other, and the loser dies.

ok thankyou Tugbrethil :)
