Introducing Agapanthus ‘Black Jack’, the groundbreaking new Agapanthus that captivated judges at the Chelsea Plant of the Year 2023 competition. Bred by the esteemed Agapanthus specialists, De Wet, ‘Black Jack’ truly lives up to its name with luxurious, silky purplish-black buds that unfurl into magnificent, deep purple flowers. Its sophisticated colour palette complements any garden design, while the open-facing, tubular blooms are densely packed in spherical clusters atop strong stems.

Part of the innovative ‘Everpanthus®’ series, ‘Black Jack’ offers an extended flowering season from midsummer through to autumn, providing more abundant and denser flower heads than typically seen. This resilient perennial thrives in heat and tolerates drought, making it an ideal choice for sunny borders, coastal gardens, and even dry spots. Its architectural presence is a magnet for bees and butterflies, and its compact nature ensures it’s a superb selection for smaller gardens, patio containers, and mixed plantings.
