Hi to all

I just wanted you all to know that nothing kills agapanthus & the only way
to remove them is by axe & shovel + a weekend of digging. No way did I think
it would be so strenuous there roots just keep on going, I have decided they
should only be in a pot.
Along with these I have cannas to remove but they appear to be dying, so it
maybe easier to dig out.
Thanks for listening to my whinge.
cheers
Sandra

Been know to dig out 150 cannas in the last 2 years and they always come
back! So expect them to start shooting up!

Yep! Keep a sharp eye out for the little shoots and pull them before
they get big enough to form much of a root system. It'll take you a few
years to get rid of them all (seeds keep sprouting and roots keep
shooting), but you will in the end.

Best of luck! ;-D
