You can bring in a blooming agapanthus or begonia, and either drop it in a pot or wrap the nursery container in fabric. |
In colder areas, protect the container over winter, the agapanthus will return to bloom even more next year. |
Tall spring bloomers that stand on their own and that are easy to grow are agapanthus, alliums, blood lilies, and African irises. |
But the leaves are as broad as agapanthus and the flower head like a white globe thistle. |
There is always plenty in bloom, especially March lilies, agapanthus, nerines and blood lilies at this time of year. |
Their cheerful blossoms peeking just above their oval textured leaves will be another attractive contrast to the agapanthus and the schizanthus. |
