Four years ago, I divided some Agapanthus and other South African plants from the greenhouse, and since I just couldn't toss them all into the compost pile, here, where I live in Worcester, MA ( USDA Zone 5/5b in central Massachusetts), I decided to plant some out in the garden. I planted some divisions or Agapanthus 'Stormcloud', not known as a 'hardy form, in ordinary garden soil in a sunny front bed where I have successfully wintered over other marginal plants like some of Ellen Hornig's hardier Kniphofia's and where I have had some luck with some Eremurus hybrids, which I have planted in plain granite gravel pits. These are in bloom today, after 6 years, but no sign of the Agapanthus this year. I was going to try some Crinum oudoors this year, but not sure which ones I might experiment with. The few I planted into the garden never survived, even when planted deeper.
