One of my nine agapanthus newbies sunbathing. They were all purchased last year in November as 9cm pots and potted on into these terracotta pots. They have all sprung up nicely 😁 - might be too soon for flowers though in 2016.

My newbies are at this stage as well. I'm thinking 2017 for flowers hopefully 😊

Wow Richard nine. You must have a big garden to take that many. 🤔🤔

Richard.spicer.7906 I am heading for the agapanthus stall in two weeks at the Harrowgate show to see if I can get some different ones

Yep, I'm thinking the same @ellenmarygardening - hopefully I will just give them a good start off this year and with feed, may have to repot again before the end of the year depending how quickly they grow.

😀 @fuschia - they are one of my favs. These are all in small pots so not filling up the borders. I've got one oldie in the ground which does well. I've got tons of space for planting eventually - most of the beds are in a 'wild state' at the moment so I'm spending lots of time renovating them. There are about 10 borders I think? Only finished 3 so far 😳

It's about 130 ish foot long I think by about 40-60ft wide (gets wider as you go to the back of garden. Never actually measured ass can't get to the bottom yet what with the brambles etc. @fuschia

Excellent @KatieCat 😀 - you'll no doubt have fun. Is it Hoylands that are exhibiting? Some great selections from them, and that's where I got all mine from.
