Agapanthus originated in the warm climate of South Africa and they wanted warm soil in the winter which I could not give them. Then, about 8 years ago, I learned about some agapanthus that were ...
Agapanthus praecox can be grown within USDA plant hardiness zones 9 to 11. [21] In lower-numbered zones, the rhizomes should be placed deeper in the soil and mulched well in the fall. Summer water should be provided. Agapanthus can be propagated by dividing clumps or by seeds. The seeds of most varieties are fertile.

The Amaryllidaceae are mainly terrestrial (rarely aquatic) flowering plants that are herbaceous or succulent geophytes (occasionally epiphytes) that are perennial, with the exception of four species. Most genera grow from bulbs, but a few such as Agapanthus, Clivia and Scadoxus develop from rhizomes (underground stems). [5]

A. africanus subsp. walshii is by far the most difficult Agapanthus to grow. It can only be grown as a container plant and will not survive if planted out. They require a very well-drained, sandy, acid mix with minimal watering in summer. [3] Both subspecies require hot, dry summers, and winter rainfall climate.
