Well, I've had Agapanthus in a pot for years. It took it a couple of
years to bloom at all and it is sporadic. This year it's got half a dozen
bloom stems; best ever. Think it was better winter conditions for them -
they seem to want to be evergreen, at least whatever I've got. Also bloom
better when a bit pot bound, so I've read, and it seems to be true. Mine
is not hardy - have no earthly what it really is, got it at Philly in a
plastic bag that just said "Agapanthus"...so, do not be surprised if you
don't get bloom this year or even next year....just be patient.
As others have said, the daylilies will do better for you next year. Most
all perennials need at least a season to settle in to the garden.
