  I'd not worry about it. I've got lots of Agapanthus and every now and again one throws up a wobbly one. 

  Mine has been like it for a couple of years, someone said it was due to lack of feed, so I started feeding it even over winter but it has made no difference. Will it always stay like this? More than half of the stems are bent.

  That's one theory out then. I was wondering if pots had blown over the heads could have turned up towards the light, then back again when righted.

  @dmeadowcrofts - at least you have buds! Mine is in a root restricting pot without any sign of flowering. I'd love a wiggly stalk right now!

  I wondered if it was to do with where they are planted. I thought perhaps they might be trying to get more light/sun if there is a large hedge nearby giving too much shade.
