Agapanthus from seed

My Agapanthus are full of seedpods now as the flowers are starting to fade. I've never tried them from seed, does anyone have any advice please?

I have a greenhouse with heating and heated propagators available.
Thanks

 

Sow them, they germinate, grow them on! Not a sarcy comment, just that they are that easy. Average room temperature is all they need. I would wait until next spring though.

 

Thanks longk, just one other question - is it better to leave the seedpods on the plant until the heads are dry or should I collect the seed now?

 

I tried a bunch of canada lilies last year , still nothing.

 

Leave until the seed is ripe.

What are Canada Lilies?

 

Hi westwales, I grew some A. Purple Cloud from bought seed which germinated easily, but bear in mind that you need patience to get them to flowering size. Mine took four years!

 

Thanks all. Yes I know it takes ages to get them to flower. It's more about just having a go; if I do get new plants from seed I may well give them away as my garden is pretty full right now but I do love Agapanthus and I used to have some beautiful specimens and then lost the lot in one very harsh winter so I'm looking at this as a sort of insurance.

 

Here we go mixed answers sure both will work ....

I sow mine in the Autumn straight from the seed pod , no heat just kept frost free over winter multipurpose I use pots in stead of trays as the root likes to go deep , I normally transplant into individual pots or group of three just to save space following Autumn , keep frost free than plant out after all frost have gone and see who is tough enough to get on with it.

 

Exactly the way that I do Galtonia seeds which is another SA member of the Hyacinthaceae family.
