agapanthus

I have just been to the Harrogate Flower Show today and looked at the Agapanthas stand. I didn't even bother to ask the stand holder as when I looked at the items he had for sale they were quite clearly rhizomes rather than bulbs. But what I noticed is that everything he had for sale had green shoots coming out of it. It struck me that this was the way to buy them.

Lorna - I suspect that Agapanthus are pretty variable. Certainly the colour and the hardiness varies. That could explain why a new plant doesn't do as well as an old plant, buy doesn't explain why your divided plant has done so badly.
