I didn't know there was such a thing as a deciduous agapanthus. I
went scurrying to find my Phillips and Rix book on Perennials but
alas, it's MIA. What's the botanical name of this please Rupert?

AFAIK most if not all agapanthus are prone to loose their leaves with
the first sign of a frost. Mine died back a few weeks ago once cooler
weather arrived. I have seen them kept evergreen by treating as a
house plant or in very mild areas. I had a quick look at the various
species and gave up as my ignorance of the vast variety became too
frustrating.

Here's a good website about agapanthus with lists of evergreen and
deciduous varieties:
