An agapanthus from Ellen Hornig's former retail nursery, an old clone from Wayside Gardens, likely a cultivar of A. campanulatus, has survived here in Tuckahoe NY for at least four years. It is much smaller than the evergreen monsters in California. It blooms reliably, is totally deciduous, and slowly the clump gets larger. Does not produce seed, thus far. Ernie DeMarie Where I am excitedly awaiting the opening of the first flowers on a Melianthus overwintered against a wall (got thru 2 winters so far) at my school in Chappaqua NY. Also happy to see Senecio coronatus from S Africa did not in fact die out, its little leaves are emerging nearby from three plants. plantblog: http://geraniosgarden.blogspot.com/ -----Original Message----- From: MARK MAZER AND FREDRIKA MAZER <markmazerandfm13@earthlink.net> To: Pacific Bulb Society <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Sent: Fri, Jun 4, 2010 7:18 pm Subject: [pbs] was: Re: Crinum in MO; now: Agapanthus in Connecticut > As long as people are thinking about this, how about Agapanthus? Any ecommendations on getting them to thrive outdoors in the ground in a onnecticut garden? In a protected, sunny garden spot, deeply mulched during the winter, I ould try A. coddii. Unfortunately, this didn't work out for me two USDA zones away in NW corner f CT. I'd also check with Dr. Nick.
