Agapanthus

When we were first approached to tissue culture Agapanthus, I must admit I was extremely apprehensive. Is there a market or high demand for a plant like this? Using carefully selected material from plants and seeds I went ahead with the initiation, my apprehension was still there. When the time came for the planting out trials of these extremely hardy and versatile plants, I wondered why I was concerned. The results far exceeded the expectations of these plants.
The outcomes of these trials detail the advantages of using Agapanthus tissue culture?

• There is none of the seeding variability.
  
• You can be more selective to get the best plant.
  
• They are readily available in volume.
  
• Micropropagated, Agapanthus plants gives more constant uniformity of  plant sizes.
