The ultimate dark garden gem, Agapanthus 'Black Jack' produces incredibly striking buds that open to deep violet-purple flowers. This agapanthus adds a layer of moody sophistication to any sunny border.
Boasting a phenomenal summer display, it blooms profusely from July through to September. These long-lasting globes of colour are perfect for bridging the gap between early and late summer plantings.
It is an exceptional choice for coastal gardens, shrugging off salty winds with ease while thriving in bright, exposed conditions. You can also plant this robust perennial in large patio pots for a spectacular modern display.
With its sturdy, upright clump-forming habit, it reaches a medium height of up to 90cm, making it ideal for the middle of a planting scheme. The lush green, strap-like leaves provide a wonderful textural base even before the flowers emerge.
Not only is it beautiful, but it is also a magnet for pollinators and fantastic for cutting. Bringing a few stems indoors will instantly elevate your floral arrangements while the garden bees enjoy the nectar-rich blooms outside.
