It is mealy bugs. I'm not going to try and save the plants. I've pulled them out but I'm going to plant the same things - sort of - Agapanthus but Baby Petes instead of Peter Pans. The difference is not for bug resistance - they are not - but for shorter stemmed flowers. I'll clear out the dirt and once the plants are in I'll use a systemic pesticide that will protect the plants. I've noticed the same sort of damage on some other plants not so far gone so I'll use the pesticide on them and hope to save a life or two.
Thanks OSH for diagnosing my plant trouble.
