 driveways. With it's long, dark green strappy foliage and those magnificent

HOW TO GROW

AGAPANTHUS

 

Step 1

Fill small starter pots with a mixture of part soil and part sand.

Place two seeds per pot directly onto the surface. Cover lightly with 

approximately 1 mm of further soil & moisten with a light mist spray bottle

or hose to avoid disturbing the seeds.

Step 2

Place pots outdoors in a mostly shaded but well lit area.

Cover the pots with clear plastic wrap to maintain warmth.

Avoid letting the soil dry out completely. 

Ideal temperatures for germination are 22-26°C/70-80°F

Step 3

Germinaton averages at around 3-5 weeks.

Seedlings can be transplanted when they reach 5cm in height.

 

Step 4

Grow the Agapanthus seedlings in a warm, bright area until autumn.

Introduce to full sun gradually over 10 days.

Transplant them into a permanent bed in Spring. Be sure that the soil is well

 draining and that they are in a full sun location. Agapanthus will tolerate 

some shade. This species is drought tolerant and will cope with frost.
