A few years ago i brought a Agapanthus Strawberry Ice online and this year its flowered really well. If i collect the seeds this year and sow them will they grow white like the mother plant or not.
The offspring will likely be a mixture, some similar and some quite different. Try it and after about 3 years when thay start flowering, you will be able to select and keep the ones you like.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Some people just love a challenge. Do give it a go, you have nothing to lose but you might have a bit of a wait, be patient.
Agapanthus take a while to get going with flowering as it is. If you do have off sets you need to have them tightly packed in their pots to get them to flower .

it may be several years before they flower and not at all likely to be the same as the parent plant.
If you're a patient optimist, then go for it.
snap Bob.
if you're going to do it, sow them fresh, don't store them

They grow very quickly, I sowed some earlier this year, they are quite big plants now. I don't mind what colours they are. Definitely worth a go.
It's probably a lot easier just to split one up.

It is easier to split them up but you won't get 100 plants by next year.
