Re: Flower pics.......


Think I will move mine into the garden, have a space where it could grow as big as it wants to, probably be happier there...

Re: Flower pics.......


Supposedly it will overwinter here, but I left my first one outside and it didn't make it. So this one spent the Winter indoors. It looks healthy, maybe it might send up a bud shoot later....

Re: Flower pics.......


The agapanthus likes to be slightly potbound so I wonder if yours would do better in a smaller sized pot?

Some tips ...

Re: Flower pics.......


Thanks for the link. I did remember it likes to be pot-bound so it's not in a very large pot, and of course there are now two bulbs in it. I checked my pics from last year but they don't show the pot size, just the bloom. Apparently they're like amaryllis ...the more pot-bound the better ....I have amaryllis still in their original pots that are over seven years old. Are your amaryllis outside ow?

That's the official theory; let it go dormant and start watering around the holidays. I never have, I keep them green and growing all Summer outside. Works for me. Picotee usually reblooms outside too as you may recall.
