I have been growing Agapanthus campanulatus ssp campanulatus from Silverhill seed outside since 2006, during which it has experienced a minimum temperature of -2o F. It is in a fairly protected position to the south of the house; I do not mulch it heavily. It blooms (in July) and increases well, in fact I just dug up 5 divisions. It has also set viable seed. Yes, it has marvelous curiosity value, but above all it is an excellent garden plant.

I really like this particular agapanthus as it does not grow as big as many of the others. It makes quite a plesant border and like all agapanthus can be divided easily. pokerboy.
I grow this plant in pots indoors from Oct.-April then put the pots outdoors during the summer (zone 5). They bloom indoors sometime between March and April, but never bloom outdoors. My plants are severely rootbound and probably getting too large for their pots. I plan to divide them when they are finished blooming, but I am unsure of the ratio of plant to pot size. I would like to hear other's experience with growing this plant in pots.

A. campanulatus 'Headbourne' is arguably the hardiest of all the African lilies. The Headbourne variety is named for the Honourable Lewis Palmers garden at Headbourne Worthy near Winchester.

Agapanthus. Officially designated as a herb with thick fleshy roots, Agapanthus originates from South Africa. The predominant colour is blue, although white is also popular. Designated as Zone 7 (mostly) they do require lots of protection if grown outside in a north European or American Winter.
