Now I have some tall ones blooming and then some stopped completely short and I have these little stubs that have lopsided purple blooms, but they won't open all big and round like they are supposed to. They don't get enough sun and I know that. That must be it. Sigh. I should drive by and look at yours!Dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-65704757574482019672008-07-05T08:08:00.000-05:002008-07-05T08:08:00.000-05:00I have lousy luck with alliums as well. This year I got sick of waiting for my never-bothered-to-flower agapanthus to bloom, and bought a bunch of them in full, spectacular bloom at Home Depot. At least I'll have something to enjoy in the front yard until all of those new plants fill in!Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16233060833186241702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-46631334003993144552008-06-23T20:35:00.000-05:002008-06-23T20:35:00.000-05:00Carol - well, I love alliums - they seem so exotic to me.

I have some others ready to bloom any day now.<BR/><BR/>But I've never tried agapanthus. Hardy here? I don't know but if it wasn't, it would surely grow in a container.<BR/><BR/>Carol, May Dreams GardensCarolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07796344366326535406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-51472697328063354462008-06-22T20:50:00.000-05:002008-06-22T20:50:00.000-05:00Annie ... my problem is that I still TRY to be in charge! I just need to give it up once and for all!<BR/><BR/>I have the exact same agapanthus problem. All planted at the same time, same conditions, same water. Who knows?!Dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-86653141596057439992008-06-22T20:45:00.000-05:002008-06-22T20:45:00.000-05:00My agapanthus do the same thing! One is a big ol' thing and the other, well, it is just a tiny clump of strappy leaves. They were both the same size when I planted them and are planted 6 feet apart! What is up with those crazy agapanthus?!? I am at the mercy of nature. *sigh*Lee17http://www.blogger.com/profile/13585316725404778916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-53328280034145228412008-06-22T20:35:00.000-05:002008-06-22T20:35:00.000-05:00The agapanthus are hit or miss with me too, Diane. Some spindly plants put up a couple of heads while other large, green and bouncy ones never bloom. But I won't worry about that since I'm also not in charge! <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-83706681479831160712008-06-22T20:34:00.000-05:002008-06-22T20:34:00.000-05:00Well, Lisa, if YOUR winters don't get cold enough I know for SURE we can't grow them here!!!!!Dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-18191482082937078852008-06-22T20:28:00.000-05:002008-06-22T20:28:00.000-05:00Funny Diane, I can't seem to grow Alliums.
