Glad you don't expect much agreement, Tanya. O to live where Agapanthus is  
a weed. It barely makes it through winter here in PA.

I don't  expect to get much agreement on this one, but the lilies of the
nile  (Agapanthus cvs.) planted decades ago at the borders of the  community
garden are a slug and snail haven -- a bad choice for a planting  near
vegetable plots! That area hasn't been maintained for years, so the  clumps
grow and spread, and nurse bermuda grass colonies. I keep pulling  out the
most overgrown clumps that are encroaching on my garden, but it  keeps
coming back. And since it's in part shade and gets no water, it  rarely
blooms.
