Greetings!
Hello Flower lovers!
This week we will introduce you to other Spring flowers such as
Agapanthus and Amaryllis.
|
 |
Agapanthus
|
Agapanthus is also commonly known as the Lily of the Nile, African Blue Lily, and African Lily.
Agapanthus is a showy widely grown plant for its exotic blue or white
flowers that bloom from late spring until the beginning of autumn,
depending on the species.
Growing Agapanthus from seed is a slow process. Sow the seeds in
the early spring. Fresh seeds germinate easily at 70-80 deg. F (20-25
deg. C) and usually within 3 to 8 weeks. However, it takes up to 2 to 3
months. Grow on in pots. It takes from 3-4 years before the plants
flower.
