    I would not recommend applying anything for this case. Killing this plant will require killing other plants in the area as well. If you do decide to use this, then you will want to give the area several months before you plant anything, so the poison has time to get out of the soil.

    Unfortunately, the best way to control is to pull them up manually.

    It is best to keep the roots covered with some damp newspaper or towels until planting. Also, keep the plants in the shade while they're out of the ground.

    Yellowing leaves are often caused by overwatering in container plants. Larger pots hold onto more water than smaller pots, so your plant will probably need to be watered less frequently than when it was in its smaller pot. Push your finger into the soil each time before you water to make sure the soil isn't staying too damp.

    Higher light levels could also help your plant green up. A disease is unlikely, but check this article just in case:

    With proper storage they can stay out of the ground for a few months. This article will go over this in more detail: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/agapanthus/agapanthus-plants-in-winter.htm

    Sometimes, unseasonable weather will cause plants to bloom at the wrong time of year. Agapanthus can also bloom for a long period of time including into the fall if the conditiions are right. The plant should be fine though, so just enjoy the flowers!

    It can be quite a task dividing Agapanthus and I'm glad you were able to divide the plant.

    You should be good to plant out by the end of April seeing the last frost.

    I will have to assume that this is in Celcius. These temperatures in Fahrenheit (what we measure temperature in) would completely kill these! At -6C they will be right above their tolerance. They will likely survive this, but covering them will give them a headstart when the warm weather returns.
