    @oliviasmart22593 They could also be Crinum powellii! I have never seen such a large clump if they are! Here they just wouldn't survive so if you live in the south that is  another thought. Lucky you if they are but sorry I cannot offer any advice on their care although they do seem to be doing very well. The seed head doesn't look as uniform as agapanthus. Does anyone have Crinums that are dying back at present?

    A number of gardens I visit on a weekly basis have Crinum in roughly the same state as the above ; very large fleshy bulbs which can prove difficult to transplant .
    The foliage can be removed now .
    Residing in E.Lincs I have never had a problem with their hardiness .
  • @oliviasmart22593 It should be easy to give a full ID now just move away some soil and see if you have bulbs. Agapanthus is a thick fleshy root and are Rhizomes. The soil in this area is mostly clay which may be why they are not happy here in the winter.

  • The remains of the robust flower head in 2nd pic, held in the hand, would suggest Agapanthus or similar

    Crinum is another possibility.

    Paul B3 Apologies for any confusion.
    I was replying to your post to agree that Crinum was another possibility.
