In 1985, Dahlgren, Clifford, and Yeo placed Agapanthus in Alliaceae, close to Tulbaghia.

Their version of Alliaceae differed from any that are recognized today in that it included Agapanthus and in that it included several genera that would later be transferred to Themidaceae.

In 1996, in a phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences of the gene rbcL, Themidaceae was resurrected and Agapanthus was removed from Alliaceae.

Previously the genus Agapanthus has also been included in the Alliaceae ( e. g. in the Dahlgren system ) or the Liliaceae ( e. g. in the Cronquist system, which unlike most classification systems included both Alliaceae and Amaryllidaceae in a broadly defined Liliaceae ).

The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group ( APG ) in their first 1998 system placed Agapanthus in its own family, Agapanthaceae, while still recognizing the families Amaryllidaceae and Alliaceae.

Species are used as food and flavourings ( e. g. onion, garlic, leek, asparagus, vanilla ), as cut flowers ( e. g. freesia, gladiolus, iris, orchids ), and as garden ornamentals ( e. g. day lilies, lily of the valley, Agapanthus ).
