A friend gave me a large seed head from an agapanthus plant today, and I was wondering if anyone has experience growing these beauties from seed? smr Attachments:  |

Found this at: http://www.plantzafrica.com/plantab/agapanpraecox. htm (remove any spaces in the URL) Seed can be sown fresh, in late summer - autumn, but in cold climates it can be kept refrigerated (not frozen) and sown in spring. It must be kept in the refrigerator or it will perish. Seed should be sown in deep (10 cm) trays, in a mixture of equal parts river sand and fine compost, and kept semi-shaded and moist. Seed germinates readily within six to eight weeks. The seed should be sown thinly as the seedlings will stay in the tray for their first year. Seedlings should be potted up into individual containers during their second year and can be planted into the garden or permanent pots in their third year. Flowering can be expected from their third or fourth year. |
