AGAPANTHUS

In favoured districts on the South coast this noble plant succeeds

admirably if planted out between September and March in a rich, deep,

moist loam, either in full sun or in partial shade. When grown in pots

it requires a strong loamy soil, with plenty of manure, and throughout

the summer the pots should be allowed to stand in pans of water. As the

Agapanthus is a gross-feeding plant, it should be re-potted annually in

autumn, and be wintered in a cool pit or frame. In transferring to new

pots a little care must be taken to avoid injuring the mass of fleshy

roots.
