Transplant agapanthus

[jersey bean]

Morning all!

I have recently got rid of our hedge out the front (purely safety reasons, its a nightmare to pull out from our drive, no pavement and on-road parking at the shop opposite). I would like to plant some agapanthus there instead, as at least you will be able to see 'through' them.

We have a load of agapthanus in our back garden, they are quite large and could do with splitting. I know its not the best time of year to do it, but if i dug them up, split and replanted them now would it cause any serious harm?

We have mild weather most of the year and they never die back (maybe they are actually evergreen, i dont know).

Any thoughts?

I don't see why you can't split them this time of year but bear in mind they can take a few years to flower again after dividing

Some varieties are evergreen. We have some 100 plants in pots grown from seed in 2007 and they will be transplanted this winter / spring to new homes.

They will be fine to divide but as Vicky says, you may wait a few years before they flower again.
