What good is the enormous "selected cultivars" list? (And does this imply that some names were actually left out???) In reality only a very few of these are commercially available. I would suggest deleting the entire list except for those few that are well-known or widely grown.
The "selected cultivars" listed are not all of the 650 plus cultivars available worldwide. Many deciduous cultivars are available in Europe where as it is the evergreen varieties which are predominant in Australia and New Zealand. What is widely grown in one country is not necessarily available in another country so why delete any at all. Maybe it should be added to listing which cultivars are available on each continent.
Many of the cultivars are available from Hoyland Plant Centre in South Yorkshire UK website http://www.somethingforthegarden.co.uk/catalogue.pdf San Marcos nursery in California USA website http://www.smgrowers.com/search/basesearch.asp?strSearchText=agapanthus Pine Cottage Plants in UK website http://www.pcplants.co.uk/PlantShop/browse/index.cfm Beeches Nursery in UK website http://www.beechesnursery.co.uk/ Maleny Agapanthus and Clivia in Australia Website http://malenyagas.com.au/ Pine Mountain Nursery in Australia is breeding new bicolour cultivars Website http://www.pinemountainnursery.com.au/category12_1.htm A good website with information on agapanthus is http://www.agapanthus.org.uk/uk/agapanthusfreunde.html A lot of info about care, cultivars and history can be found at http://www.agapanthus.nl/eng from Piet Zonneveld.

I've deleted the list (to see it look in the history) because it looks HORRIBLE. A good idea would be to make a separate page and LIST them out. Having them how they used to be is pointless.-- TheAlphaWolf 00:48, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
The page was tagged for a possible merge with "Agapanthaceae"; this family isn't recognized by APG III so such a merge isn't relevant and I removed the template. Peter coxhead ( talk) 15:34, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Sources say that the umbel has two "spathe valves" (see e.g. p. 15 here) at its base. These are described as "deciduous", i.e. they may fall off. Images and personal observation suggest that the umbel is initially enclosed in a spathe, which splits, supposedly into two parts, but I think that sometimes (in some cultivars?) there's only one split producing only one part. However, we can only put in the article what sources say, and I can't find a source for this. Peter coxhead ( talk) 20:12, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the link - I previously had that paper and couldn't find my copy. Yes, that is what it says but definitely one part on the plants we have. It also says the bract(eole?)s subtending the pedicels are persistent, on our plants these are deciduous. Oh, well. Pcrooker ( talk) 03:07, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
