I know Agapathus plants are hardy...are they commmonly grown in England?

I don't have great knowledge on these.
The tender varieties are grown in pots and over-wintered indoors.
Hardier types are becoming more available.

I've always though of all varieties of Agapathus as being hardy...I've learned something new about them. Thanks for the information. : > )
