| I planted two pots of AgapanthusLily-of-the-Nile in my yard. I live in Zone 9 in the center of Florida (Tavares). The sign on the plant said easy, sun or partial. Now I am not so sure I made the best buy. Can I ensure that they will continue to grow and bloom next year? The reading said it was an annual/perennial. Now that did confuse me! Do I leave it in the ground? I sure didn't see anything that looked like bulbs. They are planted under the Washingtonians, behind the Firebush, in front of a red Hibiscus on the North corner of the house. They get morning sun in the summer and lots of sun in the fall and winter, Thank you anybody. Noel |

| They should be perennial for you. Perhaps the label was designed for a range of markets; it would perhaps not be perennial in zone 6 - I think that it is behaving as a perennial here in zone 7, I see a lot of it lately. |

| I have grown agapanthus for years. In my zone, I must over-winter it in the garage, although we wheel them (four altogether) out on fine days. In zone 9, they should live forever. You will love them more than you can imagine. |

| We live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and agapanthus are definitely a perennial here. They come back bigger and fuller each year. Beautiful flowers. |
