Hello Jim I grow a selection from A. headborne hybrid called Pinockio this one survives - 18°C without cover well established after 1 year normally it flowers the second year after planting or fifth from seed I don't know if it comes true from seed but it is I think the most hardy good flowering plant If you want I can send you seeds this autumn Roland 2010/6/5 James Waddick <jwaddick@kc.rr.com>: > Dear Agapanthus growers, > > This 'debate' about bloom-ability reminds me why I don't grow > any.
