Agapanthus 'Black Jack' has been announced as 'Plant of the Year' at the prestigious 2023 RHS Chelsea Flower Show, having been judged by over 100 esteemed experts. Making a bold, dramatic, and architectural statement, you can bet that your borders and containers are 'Ace Rich' as globe-like clusters of drooping indigo-black buds open in summer, revealing dark blue trumpets. Held on strong stems above strap shaped foliage, Agapanthus 'Black Jack' brings movement as it sways in the breeze. The blooms make excellent cut flowers for your home, lasting up to two weeks in a vase. The attractive seed heads which follow, make a wonderful winter feature if left, or used in arrangements. Native to South Africa, hence the common name, African Lily, Agapanthus are happy in borders and containers and grow well in coastal areas, fully able to cope with salty, see breezes. Agapanthus 'Black Jack' is drought tolerant once established, and prefers to be grown in any moist, well-drained soil, except clay in full sun. Growing to a height and spread of approximately 60cm and given the RHS hardiness rating of H4, protection will only be required over winter if temperatures drop below -10 C.
