Agapanthus 2010
« on: July 19, 2010, 12:41:01 PM »
Hi all ,

here are pics of my first flowering Agapanthus  :D

it is a

Agapanthus 'Double Diamond'

no wonder with bad flowering Agapanthus in this summer ( after the weather in May )
I have bought in last year some of this small sized Agapanthus ( from a nice german nursery ) - thats a really good addition for my collection ( the diameter of this pot is 13 cm )

I hope to post later more pics from this genus ....but until now I have to wait  :-\

Enjoy

Hans,
That is a really lovely small Agapanthus. I like Agapanthus and must look for that one. As its so small it would sit well in a small pot in a small garden.

How have you found Agapanthus 'Double Diamond' to grow? It was released here in SA in 2006 and I was lucky to be given a plant at the launch. It looked great in flower, good planted in the garden and then disappeared! A number of people I spoke to had similar experiences in terms of their plants suddenly dying off.

Hi Hans

Really lovely Agapanthus 'Double Diamond'

I have a couple of dwarf agapanthus. One that I have and never been able to flower is Tinkerbell, the folage is nice creamy variegated foliage so at least I have something to look at. I suppose maybe it hasn't had enough sunshine  ::) Have you got this one and if so have you had any success with flowering.
The other one is ready to flower, I don't have the name but I shall post a picture and see if anyone can help me with the name.

I grow two hardy Agapathus outdoors here in zone 7B, and they have done pretty well in the last 4 years:
- A. 'Bressingham Blue'
- A. 'White Lined'
and I'd be interested to hear about other hardy ones that you might have experirenced succesfully in similar conditions...

Such graceful Agapanthus in your planting Zephirine, I have only grown blues but the whites do look wonderful with dark behind.  I love watching Agapanthus grow from the emerging leaves to the fountain effect and then the shooting firework of each flower.

Maybe the wet/cool produces more leaf than flower?  Mine flowered best in a south facing spot in dryish conditions backed by a wall.
