A debate is raging up and down the country over the planting of agapanthus, some want it banned from sale in shops while others have found a use for it under some conditions. Like it or hate it, it will in the future cause a lot of trouble in Pukawa as can already be seen where it is seeding.
The main plant only increases in diameter slowly leading people to say" my agapanthus is not spreading" but it seeds, hundred of seeds which scatter in the wind and that is the danger. The plant once established is extremely hard to remove, just ask someone who has tried to dig it out.
Please remove the flower heads before the seeds set, this will at least contain the number of plants Pukawa already has.
