Saul, my gardener, convinced me that I could coppice the Agapanthus and it would come back stronger than ever. He was right.
Wood chip mulch, made from trees cut from the property, covers the ground in between the aggies. They've served their purpose and kept me in the good graces of the neighborhood for the past 11 months.
But wait, what's that peeping out of those strappy leaves?
Why it's our old friend Cercis occidentalis (Western Redbud) which I planted as 1 gal babies not too long ago. They've grown so fast! There's three of them, harbingers of the end of the Agapanthus and the start of something better.
