Agapanthus - can you propagate from seed?
have white Agapanthus seeds too. I did try some before but left outside and weather got too cold for them. Works great - grew a dozen or so from seeds collected from a couple of Headborne hybrids I originally grew from T&M seeds.  Best keep them in pots by Pepperted
