Fun to see your shared enthusiasm and brainstorming ideas. Special Request: Can we go back and talk about the agapanthus? I always thought of it as a California plant but have started seeing it in Portland area nurseries and it is supposedly hardy. I took a chance and planted three last year but lost all of them over the winter (and they were not inexpensive). The roots were just mush... Assume they were just too wet but it's PORTLAND. What doesn't get and stay wet all winter? (I keep losing nepeta, too.) Would love for you to share some tips on agapanthus, and for that matter, other plants that don't like the winter wet. I've struggled with plants, even "tough perennials", that love the warm dry summer months in the PNW but can't tolerate wet feet all winter...

@HelloGarden

Ай бұрын

Yes! Great question. I think it sounds like your soil may be clay heavy. If that’s the case, the excessive water in our region makes it a challenge. My sandy soil works well for agapanthus. I’ve also used it in lots of raised beds and containers because they drain so freely! One thing you could try is amending the soil with sand and some more barky mulch.

Thank you, Kate, Janey and Brian! This was so fun!
