Agapanthus are tougher than they look and settle into most sheltered spots, from subtropical to cool temperate and Mediterranean gardens. Cold and dry spells are tolerated, though growth slows, so the coldest sites suit a sheltered position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Any well drained soil will do, and a lean one suits it better than a rich one.
