Interesting, my one Agapanthus that has survived for at least 9 years is not a water hog. Wonder if, once they are well established (mine's in a huge pot) with lots of those fleshy roots, they get more tolerant. If I do water it too much especially in the springtime, I get no blooms. It needs a dry period when the weather is heating up to bloom well for me. It does put on lots of new growth through the summer, which is the rainy season here. Otherwise, it is not getting any regular irrigation at all.
