 Agapanthus Posted 21 Dec 11 7:40 PM
We have many agapanthus growing in various places on our terraced section with varying degrees of flowering. I am trying to decided wether to rip them all out, or try and plant other flowers (or flowering shrubs)along side them, or leave them in place but try to encourage more flowers.
I am aware they are very robust plants and am not sure what sort of flowers (if any) would survive alongside them? I would also like to know if there is anything I can do to encourage flowering of the agapanthus themselves?

Basically the agas will smother anything you plant in there, they are invasive repulsive plants. Your best bet would be to rip them out and plant some miniature agapanthus, because they are smaller, and are sterile, so they wont seed everywhere, or plant something else entirely, maybe grow a hedge of Clianthus, those are always really nice, or Xeronema callistimon-poor knights lily-which is a rare plant anyways and looks SPECTACULAR

I have agapanthus and red hot pokers growing together. Try blue and white agapanthus with red, orange and yellow red-hot-pokers - spectacular!
