How to Grow and Care for Agapanthus Seeds

1. Planting:
   • Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or sow directly outdoors after the threat of frost has passed.
   • Sow seeds on the surface of a seed-starting mix and lightly press them down, as they need light to germinate.
   • Maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
2. Transplanting:
   • Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into larger pots or directly into the garden. Agapanthus thrives in well-draining soil in full sun or partial shade.
   • Space the plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth and airflow.
3. Watering:
   • Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. Once established, Agapanthus is fairly drought-tolerant, but regular watering encourages better flowering.
   • Water at the base to avoid wetting the foliage, which can cause disease.
4. Fertilizing:
   • Feed Agapanthus with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to encourage strong growth and abundant blooms.
   • Reduce fertilization in the fall and winter when the plant enters dormancy.
5. Care:
   • Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance.
   • Divide mature plants every few years to prevent overcrowding and promote healthy growth.
   • Mulch around the base to retain moisture and protect the roots in colder climates.
