My first agapanthus

| Morning,
I have some Baby Blue aggies to plant in a long narrow bed next to a fence beside our driveway, I would like them to eventually be one long mass but am not sure how far apart to plant the rhizomes...should they be 15cm or 30cm?
Thanks,
Lynnie |

| We planted ours 60cm apart about 2 1/2 years ago, and now I am wondering why I planted them so close together... On the flip side, some people down the road planted them along their driveway 4 years ago, and they are still tiny, plants that have never flowered. Theirs are planted straight into the grass and never get any attention. Ours are planted into dug-over soil with a thick straw mulch. If the bed is well prepared, you can space them out farther apart. Robyn |

This is Queensland Lynnie::::::Mine multiply very fast.So space them further apart as Robyn said.
They can be invasive so cut off the flower heads when they have finished flowering,..MM. |

Thanks for the advice girls...I shall plant accordingly and can't wait to see them in 12mo.

| Mine self seed prolifically, you will have the mass planting you desire in no time. I have mine up my driveway too, but they are all burnt from the new Years Day, heatwave. I agree with MM, I cut my flowerheads off, to stop them seeding into the bushland. I put them into the bin, so they can grow at the tip ? |
