    Like lots of white tapeworms.  They had only managed to penetrate the top third of the pot, probably due to waterlogged conditions.
    I suspect if they look that way, they've been attacked by vine weevil at some time. Normally they're very white and plump and fleshy.

    The dangly bits were like tapeworms, but the heart of the root ball was very agapanthus like.  Thick and all coiled up, so I am hopeful. :smile:

    sounds like vine weevil, or it's totally dried out at some point.

    I don’t know who said in the first place that they like to be cramped and pot bound! 
    They grow beautifully in Cornwall, in gardens, that’s a pretty big pot.
    i spilt one of mine this year, three flower spikes. 
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    Probably the same person who said Hostas need to be in shade.
