    Hi all,

    I grow a lot of varieties of agapanthus, but I was tempted to have a try of growing one of the pink varieties.

    any one have any recommendations of which varieties available, that are worth a try

      I bought a small division of Agapanthus campanulatus ssp patens "Rosie Palmer" and this is what the blurb said:
      "This subspecies of a classic hardy deciduous species is distinguished by its flowers which flare widely and attractively. This clone is reputed to have extraordinary lilac-pink flowers under some conditions; with us it’s more a pale grey-lilac, still very different and attractive."
      I got this in 2022 and it is growing and slowly getting larger, but yet to flower.
      Unfortunately my source has now retired.
