Can I grow more Agapanthus from the seeds on my plants?


Our Advice:

Yes, remove the black seeds after the seed capsules turn brown, and sow into trays of John Innes seed compost. Place the trays in a cold frame or sheltered spot in the garden. Cover the compost with a layer of grit to deter slugs. It will take several years before the seedlings flower, and they will be different from the parent plant.
