Warm welcome from Georgia, Aaron.

I also grow Agapanthus, both white and blue ones, and some cannas, but you definitely have a nicer selection of plants than I do. Wish you a great growing season!!!

Hi soundofmusic1. I love agapanthus they really stand out from other plants. My test this year is going to be getting them through the winter with me being a zone 8a. i get a lot of frost where i am. most of my plants will have to be lifted and stored indoors as i don't have the luxury of a heated greenhouse. My basjoo's will stay outside so will my palms and cordyline with winter fleeces and plenty of straw inside them for winter protection. with a good thick mulch. Hopefully this will work?
Do you lift your canna's for winter or is your winters mild?
