Hi quiltingfox, I think I saw a couple (maybe more) iris seed pods in an overgrown bed. I'll try to remember to check them and see if there are any actual seeds left in them, if they did indeed make seeds....or if they are ready for harvest. Sue

What fun to be planning a new garden. I have found that my DLs individually get the 'most bang for the buck' if I plant at least 3 double/triple fans of the same variety within 12" (inches) of each other and then plant the next variety 4'(feet) away - if you have the space. Planting in this way gives each variety the 'spotlight' so-to-speak. My large new bed has many, many DLs planted in it and while it is a riot of color, to enjoy each one you need to walk through them and check each one out individually. The 1st planting method gives a better display from a distance of your favorites. Where you are located you should be able to have blooms for a long time. I would look for DLs that have extended, and rebloom. Rich colors show up well, and especially if a couple whites, or light yellows are included. To be able to work (pull weeds) I would definitely allow two feet between plantings if you do not 'group' them. I did a quick search to see what agapanthus looks like, with no luck. Here are a couple brights that would 'shine' in your garden. Forsyth Vivacious, Whooperee, Emerald Splendor, Samar Star Fire, Chrissy Renee, Unforgettable Fire, highland Pinched Fingers, & Stargate Portal. All of these DLs have had their photos posted on this forum so you could see a photo. Good luck and happy hunting. Jane
