I (very kindly) received some tubers from Agapanthus. I haven't had a chance to plant them yet - will I be ok to pot them up into decent sized pots until Spring?

Or do I need to get them in the ground now?

Deffo get them into soil. A pot (each) is fine and plant into final position any time you want before, say, early March.

Thanks WG, just the answer I was looking for! I'll pot them all up (individually) tomorrow.

I have a perfect spot for them, it's just not ready yet.

I'm hoping to grow the fuseau variety of these next year. If I am going to save some of the tubers for the following year how owuld I do that? leave them in the ground until needed or lift and store, and if storing whats the best way?

Leaving in the ground would be best.

But some people lift them and store as per potatoes but this is a desperate measure and affects the flavour badly.
