I left all my evergreen agapanthus out this winter, 70+. I might have lots a couple, but most are fine.
Units? ºF, ºC, ºK ? Or is 70 the number of plants? In pots, in the ground?
I have you down as North Devon, mild but not tropical. If 70ºF , it's my sitting room, but only when I'm in there, and without the "+". If you've lost any it's either heat exhaustion or burglary.

From Sarah Raven's website, dated 2021: "Agapanthus don't like to be planted into pots that are too spacious as this will encourage leaf growth rather than flower production. Ideally, they perform best where root development is restricted"

Thank you all I live in Preston UK I have phantom, silver star midnight star and popin purple Poppin purple which has died total. I have 2 fireworks in 1ltr pots. My silver star fills a 30 ltr pot and survives year in year out my garden is south facing just need help in what I have done wrong hope all is well.
I agree with @GardenerSuze. Any fleshy plant, which they are, will have been affected by mild wet conditions, followed by a sudden swing the other way, and therefore freezing. It's the wet/freeze cycle that does the damage. All you can do is wait. If it comes away well, you can then refresh the soil/compost and feed etc.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
You have done nothing wrong. You are not alone. You have been caught by an exeptional winter. All you can do is to decide whether you continue to collect agapanthuses, and how you can better protect them in the future.
