Can I grow agapanthus in New Hampshire?

I've collected a lot of seeds from mine in Florida to plant in NH, but don't know it they will come up next year after the harsh NH winter. Anyone know if I can grow it that far north?

    Indeed it can be grown in NH. But, if it spent the winter in the elements it is doubtful it will come back. If grown in tubs/containers (can be brought in over winter if you've room) and/or in the ground (lift and store over winter.) Snails and slugs love them. Adaptable and 'easy' to grow. Good luck.

    Grow it as a container plant and have it on the patio for the summer, taking it inside during the winter. My "peter pans" are all grown by bulb, not seed, but they did come back after we had a week of hard freeze, but I doubt they would with your lengthy winters.
