Agapanthus 'Back in Black'

Make a dramatic statement with Agapanthus 'Back in Black', a striking African lily prized for its exceptionally dark flowering stems! This clump-forming evergreen perennial produces upright black stems topped with rounded umbels of tubular, deep blue flowers, each petal marked by a darker central stripe. The rich blooms contrast beautifully with the strap-like mid-green foliage, creating a sophisticated display throughout summer. Compact enough for containers and smaller borders yet commanding enough to make an impact when planted in groups, this distinctive Agapanthus is particularly effective alongside grasses, silver foliage and other late flowering perennials. It also makes an excellent cut flower, bringing its unusual dark stems and rich blue flowers indoors. Hardy and dependable, Agapanthus 'Back in Black' offers a stylish combination of strong form and intense colour. Ultimate height: 75cm (29in). Ultimate spread: 45cm (18in).
